Biomedical electronic devices are interfaced with the human body to extract precise medical
data and to interfere with tissue function by providing electrical stimuli. In this Review, we …

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 …

The aims of this paper are to (i) provide a brief history of cochlear implants;(ii) present a
status report on the current state of implant engineering and the levels of speech …

Auditory development involves changes in the peripheral and central nervous system along
the auditory pathways, and these occur naturally, and in response to stimulation. Human …

Energy storage systems for powering electronic medical implants and sensors are
essentially based on conventional electrode materials and electrolytes. Because of their …

Considerable advancements in cochlear implant technology (eg, electric acoustic
stimulation) and assessment materials have yielded expanded criteria. Despite this, it is …

Degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis
pigmentosa (RP) primarily affect the photoreceptors, ultimately resulting in significant loss of …

Parental involvement and communication are essential for language development in young
children. However, hearing parents of deaf children face challenges in providing language …

Auditory prostheses can partially restore speech comprehension when hearing fails. Sound
coding with current prostheses is based on electrical stimulation of auditory neurons and …

Purpose The purpose of the present investigation is to differentiate children using cochlear
implants (CIs) who did or did not achieve age-appropriate language scores by …
