We introduce a novel machine learning approach for investigating speech processing with cochlear implants (CIs)-prostheses used to replace a damaged inner ear. Concretely, we use a simple perceptron and a deep convolutional network to classify speech...
To assess whether CI programming by means of a software application using artificial intelligence (AI), FOX®, may improve cochlear implant (CI) performance. Two adult CI recipients who had mixed auditory results with their manual fitting were selec...
Cochlear implants (CIs) are surgically implanted neural prosthetic devices that are used to treat severe-to-profound hearing loss. These devices are programmed post implantation and precise knowledge of the implant position with respect to the intra ...
This study aims to assess the feasibility of autonomous cochlear implant (CI) fitting by adult CI recipients based on psychoacoustic self-testing and artificial intelligence (AI). A feasibility study was performed on six adult CI recipients implant...
Medical device performance and safety databases can be analyzed for patterns and novel opportunities for improving patient safety and/or device design. The objective of this analysis was to use supervised machine learning to explore patterns in rep...

To evaluate the safety and outcomes of robot-assisted electrode insertion in cochlear implantation. We first reported the case of robot-assisted electrode insertion of cochlear implantation in October 2019. A new slim electrode array of Nurotron co...
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...

OBJECTIVE: To describe the first cochlear array insertions using a robot-assisted technique, with different types of straight or precurved electrode arrays, compared with arrays manually inserted into the cochlea.
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 ...
