Strahl; Katrin Murrmann; Erik Schebsdat; Marcus Neudert; Thomas Zahnert Objective: To develop an algorithm, based on the voltage matrix, for detecting regular cochlear implant (CI) electrode position during the implantation procedure, tip fold-over...

...Matthew McCall; Janitha Jayawardana; Jill Mustard; Joanne Lake; John Pearson; Philip Bird Introduction: Research suggests deaf children who receive cochlear implants (CIs) at an early age can achieve age-appropriate language. Recent studies suggest age at full-time CI use is a better predictor...

...Pelden Wangchuk; Cila Umat; Foong Yen Chong; Faizah Mohd Zaki; Asma Abdullah Introduction: Anatomy-based fitting (ABF), a relatively new technique for cochlear implant (CI) programming, attempts to lessen the impact of the electrode insertion location-related frequency-to-place mismatch (FPM...

...Alexander Stutley; Caris Bogdanov; Marcus Windsor Rao Voola; Peter Friedland; Dayse Távora-Vieira Introduction: Electrically evoked cortical auditory evoked potentials (ECAEPs) are central brain responses to auditory stimuli that correlate with postoperative cochlear implant (CI) hearing outcomes...

...Philippine Toulemonde; Cyril Beck; Michaël Risoud; Pierre Emmanuel Lemesre; Meryem Tardivel; Juergen Siepmann; Christophe Vincent Introduction: Assessing cochlear implantation’s impact on cell loss and preventing post-implant cochlear damage are key areas of focus for hearing preservation research...

...Aline Faria de Sousa; Lucas Bevilacqua Alves da Costa; Maristela Julio Costa; Rubens V. Brito Neto Introduction: This study aimed to verify the influence of speech stimulus presentation and speed on auditory recognition in cochlear implant (CI) users with poorer performance. Methods: The cross...

... cochlear implantation. In this context, frequency-specific fitting of the basal electrode contact with a normal insertion depth can be difficult since it is often placed in a frequency range higher than 10 kHz, and current audio processors only stimulate for frequencies up to 8.5 kHz due to microphone...

... (BCD), and a cochlear implant (CI). The primary aim of this study was to compare speech understanding in noise and binaural benefits in adults with postlingual SSD between preoperative unaided baseline, preoperative CROS and BCD trial devices, and CI, following recommendations from a consensus protocol...

...Brianna Chai; Mary Laing Holland; Elizabeth L. Camposeo; Kaylene King; Kara C. Schvartz-Leyzac Introduction: Optimal cochlear implant (CI) outcomes are due to, at least in part, appropriate device programming. Objective measures, such as electrically evoked stapedial reflex thresholds (ESRTs), can...

...Laura Dessard; Guillaume Gersdorff; Nicola Ivanovik; Masoud Zoca-Assadi; Peter Nopp; Séverine Camby; Philippe P. Lefebvre Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the originally applied frequency allocation of cochlear implant electrodes assigned by default at the time of activation...

...Guillaume Gersdorff; Vincent Péan; Séverine Camby; Sébastien Barriat; Philippe P. Lefebvre Introduction: Cochlear implants (CIs) can restore binaural hearing in cases of single-sided deafness (SSD). However, studies with a high level of evidence in support of this phenomenon are lacking. The aim...

... but normal hearing in the other ear (single-sided deafness [SSD]), this difference can be compensated by a unilateral cochlear implant (CI). It has been shown that a CI can restore sound localization performance, but it is still unclear to what extent auditory spatial discrimination can be improved. Methods...

... is based on presence of otoacoustic emissions and lack of, or abnormal, brainstem auditory evoked potential. With respect to treatment, we have variable results in the literature about development of speech perception and skills, in children with AN and cochlear implant (CI) rehabilitation. Objectives...

... in a cochlear implant (CI) user population. Methods: The study involved 152 adult CI users. The mean age at implantation was 55 (standard deviation [SD] = 16), and the mean CI experience was 5 years (SD = 4.8). The cohort was split into three groups depending on the hearing modality: bilateral CIs (BCIs...

...Caris Bogdanov; Wilhelmina H.A.M. Mulders; Helen Goulios; Dayse Távora-Vieira Introduction: Hearing loss is a major global public health issue that negatively impacts quality of life, communication, cognition, social participation, and mental health. The cochlear implant (CI) is the most...

...Margaret T. Dillon; Emily Buss; Alec D. Johnson; Michael W. Canfarotta; Brendan P. O'Connell Introduction: Cochlear implant (CI) and electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) users may experience better performance with maps that align the electric filter frequencies to the cochlear place...

... hearing loss often benefit from a bimodal hearing solution with a cochlear implant (CI) and a hearing aid (HA). However, hearing performances may vary with some surprisingly high- or low-performing CI/HA users. A potential role of the MOCR among these patients warrants further investigation. Otoacustics...

...Eun Kyung Jeon; Bruna S. Mussoi; Carolyn J. Brown; Paul J. Abbas Introduction: Expanding cochlear implant (CI) candidacy criteria and advances in electrode arrays and soft surgical techniques have increased the number of CI recipients who have residual low-frequency hearing. Objective measures...

...Shaza Mahmoud Saleh; Shakeel Riaz Saeed; Deborah Vickers Background: Speech perception in noise is especially challenging for cochlear implant (CI) recipients; thus, speech in noise tests are used to clinically evaluate functional hearing with CIs. The coordinate response measure (CRM) corpus can...
