As the most successful neural prosthesis, cochlear implants have provided partial hearing to
more than 120000 persons worldwide; half of which being pediatric users who are able to …

Objectives As indications for cochlear implantation have expanded to include patients with
more residual hearing, increasing emphasis has been placed on minimally traumatic …

Objective: A great deal of variability exists in the speech-recognition abilities of postlingually
deaf adult cochlear implant (CI) recipients. A number of previous studies have shown that …

Objective: To update a 15-year-old study of 800 postlinguistically deaf adult patients
showing how duration of severe to profound hearing loss, age at cochlear implantation (CI) …

Objectives/Hypothesis Three surgical approaches: cochleostomy (C), round window (RW),
and extended round window (ERW); and two electrodes types: lateral wall (LW) and …

Objective To test the influence of multiple factors on cochlear implant (CI) speech
performance in quiet and in noise for postlinguistically deaf adults, and to design a model of …

Objectives: 1) Investigate the impact of electrode type and surgical approach on scalar
electrode location; and 2) examine the relation between electrode location and …

Background: Postoperative imaging studies by numerous groups have revealed that final
cochlear implant (CI) electrode position impacts audiological outcomes with scalar location …

Objectives: Commercially available cochlear implant systems attempt to deliver frequency
information going down to a few hundred Hertz, but the electrode arrays are not designed to …

Objectives 1) Examine angular insertion depths (AID) and scalar location of Med‐El (GmbH
Innsbruck, Austria) electrodes; and 2) determine the relationship between AID and …
