Cochlear implantation has become known as “the treatment of choice” for adults with severe
to profound hearing loss. Wide variability exists, however, in the way hearing loss severity is …

Cochlear implants (CIs) are the world's most successful sensory prosthesis and have been
the subject of intense research and development in recent decades. We critically review the …

It is impossible to overstate the medical and societal impact of cochlear implant (CI). The
introduction of this device allowed otolaryngologists to restore auditory input in deafened …

Background Hearing impairment that is too severe to be adequately treated with
conventional hearing aids can lead, in children, to severe developmental disturbances of …

Cochlear implantation has become the standard‐of‐care for adults and children with severe
to profound hearing loss. There is growing evidence that qualitative as well as quantitative …

People with hearing impairment are thought to rely heavily on context to compensate for
reduced audibility. Here, we explore the resulting cost of this compensatory behavior, in …

In older adults, hearing loss is independently associated with an increased rate of cognitive
decline, and has been identified to be a modifiable risk factor for dementia. The mechanism …

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 …

While the majority of cochlear implant recipients benefit from the device, it remains difficult to
estimate the degree of benefit for a specific patient prior to implantation. Using data from …

After more than 40 years of research, visual prostheses are moving from the laboratory into
the clinic. These devices are designed to provide prosthetic vision to the blind by stimulating …
