In the last two decades, cochlear implant surgery has evolved into a minimally invasive, hearing preservation surgical technique. The devices used during surgery have benefited from technological advances that have allowed modification and possible i...
Cochlear implants restore hearing in patients with severe to profound deafness by delivering electrical stimuli inside the cochlea. Understanding stimulus current spread, and how it correlates to patient-dependent factors, is hampered by the poor acc...
Despite the development and success of cochlear implants over several decades, wide inter-subject variability in speech perception is reported. This suggests that cochlear implant user-dependent factors limit speech perception at the individual level...
INTRODUCTION: Electrode array translocation is an unpredictable event with all types of arrays, even using a teleoperated robot in a clinical scenario. We aimed to compare the intracochlear trauma produced by the HiFocus™ Mid-Scala (MS) electrode arr...
The cocktail party effect refers to the human sense of hearing's ability to pay attention to a single conversation while filtering out all other background noise. To mimic this human hearing ability for people with hearing loss, scientists integrate ...
INTRODUCTION: Cochlear implants (CIs) are commonly used for the rehabilitation of profound bilateral hearing loss. However, patients with substantial residual acoustic hearing are potential CI candidates. Because of both improvements in technology an...
