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 …

Importance Sensorineural hearing loss is the third leading cause of years lived with
disability worldwide. Cochlear implants may provide a viable alternative to hearing aids for …

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 …

Suboptimal cochlear implant (CI) electrode array placement may reduce presentation of
coded information to the central nervous system and, consequently, limit speech recognition …

Cochlear implant recipients have demonstrated remarkable increases in speech perception
since US FDA approval was granted in 1984. Improved performance is due to a number of …

Objective: To determine the efficacy of “simultaneous” bilateral cochlear implantation (both
implants placed during a single surgical procedure) by comparing bilateral and unilateral …

Objective: Considerable unexplained variability and large individual differences exist in
speech recognition outcomes for postlingually deaf adults who use cochlear implants (CIs) …

Objectives: A new technique for determining the position of each electrode in the cochlea is
described and applied to spiral computed tomography data from 15 patients implanted with …

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 …

Abstract Development of spoken language is an objective of virtually all English-based
educational programs for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. The primary goal of …
