Cochlear implant electrode arrays are designed with specific characteristics that allow for
the preservation of intra-cochlear structures during the insertion process, as well as during …

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 …

Olivocochlear efferents allow the central auditory system to adjust the functioning of the
inner ear during active and passive listening. While many aspects of efferent anatomy …

The architecture of the efferent auditory system enables prioritization of strongly overlapping
spatiotemporal cochlear activation patterns elicited by relevant and irrelevant inputs. So far …

Cochlear implants (CIs) provide a solution for individuals with severe sensorineural hearing
loss to regain their hearing abilities. When someone experiences this form of hearing …

This review addresses the putative role of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex in
psychophysical masking and intensity resolution in humans. A framework for interpreting …

Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the recovery of ergosterol from an
agroindustrial residue of Agaricus blazei Murrill, by comparing conventional (heat-assisted …

Bilateral cochlear implant (BCI) users only have very limited spatial hearing abilities. Speech
coding strategies transmit interaural level differences (ILDs) but in a distorted manner …

The mammalian brain is connected to the ear through corticofugal pathways. These neural
circuits link non-auditory regions of the cerebral cortex like frontal and visual areas with the …

Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) greatly improve spatial hearing acuity for CI users, but
substantial gaps still exist compared to normal-hearing listeners. For example, CI users have …
