The human cochlea transforms sound waves into electrical signals in the acoustic nerve
fibers with high acuity. This transformation occurs via vibrating anisotropic membranes …

Objectives: The spatial position of a cochlear implant (CI) electrode array affects the spectral
cues provided to the recipient. Differences in cochlear size and array length lead to …

As biomolecular approaches for hearing restoration in profound sensorineural hearing loss
evolve, they will be applied in conjunction with or instead of cochlear implants. An …

Cochlear implantation has become the standard of care for hearing loss not amenable to
amplification by bypassing the structures of the cochlea and stimulating the spiral ganglion …

Objective: Cochlear implants are traditionally programmed to stimulate according to a
generalized frequency map, where individual anatomic variability is not considered when …

Objective: To three-dimensionally reconstruct Rosenthal's canal (RC) housing the human
spiral ganglion (SG) using synchrotron radiation phase-contrast imaging (SR-PCI). Straight …

Background Despite significant anatomical variation amongst patients, cochlear implant
frequency-mapping has traditionally followed a patient-independent approach. Basilar …

Purpose: Cochlear implant (CI) recipients demonstrate variable speech recognition when
listening with a CI-alone or electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) device, which may be due in …

Purpose Music perception is one of the greatest challenges for cochlear implant (CI) users.
The aims of this study were:(i) to evaluate the music perception of CI users using the online …

Objectives The primary objective of this study was to use high-resolution micro-CT images to
create accurate three-dimensional (3D) models of several intratemporal structures, and to …
