Case report of the first patient with electro-mechanical stimulation of the inner ear: The Vibrant Soundbridge combined with a FLEX20 cochlear implant

Otolaryngology Case Reports, 2020
Background: Previous studies in the field of cochlear implantation have proven that the use of electro-acoustic stimulation systems in patients with low frequency residual hearing results in improved speech perception scores compared to electric only ...

Contralateral inhibition of click- and chirp-evoked human compound action potentials [PDF]

, 2017
Cochlear outer hair cells (OHC) receive direct efferent feedback from the caudal auditory brainstem via the medial olivocochlear (MOC) bundle. This circuit provides the neural substrate for the MOC reflex, which inhibits cochlear amplifier gain and is ...

Mechanical Affective Touch Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: Feasibility, Clinical Outcomes, and Electroencephalography Biomarkers From an Open-Label Trial

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022
BackgroundMost external peripheral nerve stimulation devices designed to alter mood states use electrical energy, but mechanical stimulation for activation of somatosensory pathways may be harnessed for potential therapeutic neuromodulation.

Suppression of Acoustic Input by Thalamic Stimulation.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1958
1. Electrical responses to clicks were recorded from the ventral cochlear nucleus in curarized cats, and the effect thereon of brain stem repetitive stimulation was investigated (stereotaxic method). 2. Clear-cut inhibition of the cochlear nucleus response to click was recorded when a critically-localized region of the posterior diencephalon was ...

Rehabilitative devices for a top-down approach [PDF]

, 2019
In recent years, neurorehabilitation has moved from a "bottom-up" to a "top down" approach. This change has also involved the technological devices developed for motor and cognitive rehabilitation.
