Predictors of Early and Long‐Term Sound Quality Ratings in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This longitudinal study of 339 adult cochlear implant recipients demonstrates that subjective sound quality ratings improve significantly during the first 6 months post‐activation before plateauing, with early outcomes predicted by electrode placement factors (closer modiolar distance and deeper insertion depth), pre‐operative sound quality, and word ...

Evaluation of different signal processing options in unilateral and bilateral Cochlear Freedom recipients using R-Space background noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Understanding speech in the presence of noise is a difficult task for cochlear implant patients. This study examines the real-world effectiveness of different signal processing approaches available in the Cochlear Nucleus Freedom device to enhance speech

Impact of Acute Versus Chronic Unilateral Hearing Loss on Head Movement in a Novel Binaural Task

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Individuals with single‐sided deafness (SSD) may develop adaptive listening strategies with head movement patterns to optimize monaural localization and speech‐in‐noise understanding. Granular understanding of adaptive behaviors may better inform rehabilitation for SSD.

Cochlear Implantation and Facial Nerve Stimulation: Clinical and Anatomic Correlations

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
One rare complication of cochlear implantation (CI) is facial nerve stimulation (FNS) and in this study the location and insertion depths for electrode contacts causing FNS was analyzed, and the anatomical variance of the human facial nerve canal (FNC) was explored to elucidate the mechanisms underlying FNS.

Intraindividual Comparison of Image Artifacts of Two Generations of Rotatable Cochlear Implant Magnets

open access: yesJournal of International Advanced Otology
Background: In cochlear implant recipients, the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans is reduced by image artifacts. The static magnetic field of a 3.0T scanner is associated with the risk of implant demagnetization.
