Permanently changed sensory stimulation can modify functional connectivity patterns in the
healthy brain and in pathology. In the pathology case, these adaptive modifications of the …

Objectives: This study quantitatively assesses how cochlear implants (CIs) and vocoder
simulations of CIs influence the identification of linguistic and emotional prosody in nontonal …

Improvements in device technology, surgical technique, and patient outcomes have resulted
in a broadening of cochlear implantation criteria to consider those with increasing levels of …

Cochlear implant (CI) recipients generally have good perception of speech in quiet
environments but difficulty perceiving speech in noisy conditions, reduced sensitivity to …

Speech prosody, including pitch contour, word stress, pauses, and vowel lengthening, can
aid the detection of the clausal structure of a multi-clause sentence and this, in turn, can help …

Catchy utterances, such as proverbs, verses, and nursery rhymes (ie,“No pain, no gain” in
English), contain strong-prosodic (SP) features and are child-friendly in repeating and …

The authors present the guidelines of the French Society of ENT and Head and Neck
Surgery (SFORL) regarding indications for cochlear implantation in adults. After a literature …

The temporal-limits-encoder (TLE) strategy has been proposed to enhance the
representation of temporal fine structure (TFS) in cochlear implants (CIs), which is vital for …

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine whether cochlear implantation using
the round window (RW) route versus cochleostomy achieves comparable electrode …

Age-related changes in the brain can alter how emotions are processed. In humans, valence
