“All of us in implant research have hoped that somehow we would hit upon an electrode
configuration or external processing scheme that would suddenly give our patients normal …

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) …

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 …

The cochlear implant (CI), by enabling oral communication in severely to profoundly deaf
subjects, is one of the major medical advances over the last fifty years. Despite the globally …

Sharp spatial selectivity is critical to auditory performance, particularly in pitch-related tasks.
Most contemporary cochlear implants have employed monopolar stimulation that produces …

Background Cochlear implant performance varies greatly among patients. Improved
methods to assess and monitor functional hair cell and neural substrate before and during …

Objective. To determine the influence of inner ear dysplasia on both surgical and audiologic
outcomes following pediatric cochlear implant (CI) surgery. Data Sources. MEDLINE (1982 …

The current technique for cochlear implantation (CI) surgery requires a mastoidectomy to
gain access to the cochlea for electrode array insertion. It has been shown that …

Background Today, the surgical challenge in cochlear implantation is the preservation of the
anatomic structures and the residual hearing. In routine practice, the electrode array is …

The primary goal of this study was to characterize the variability in auditory-nerve temporal
response patterns obtained with the electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) …
