The Totally Implantable Cochlear Implant
Ear & Hearing, 2007The concept of a totally implantable cochlear implant (TICI) offers the following advantages over the present generation of semi-implantable cochlear implants. These advantages include (1) cosmetics: deafness can be "hidden," because there is no external hardware during use; (2) no external hardware (e.g., cables, speech processor) to fail or be ...

Cochlear implantation in children
Auris Nasus Larynx, 2010Cochlear implantation has revolutionized the treatment and prognosis of children with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who receive limited benefits from hearing aids. Children who receive cochlear implantation at young age, in particular before 2 years of age, can be expected to reach their normal age-equivalent developmental milestones ...

The early history of the cochlear implant: a retrospective.
JAMA Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2013IMPORTANCE Histories of cochlear implant (CI) technology have often been inaccurate owing to the confusion of terms and anatomical situations or to biased reporting. This retrospective, published shortly after the death of inventor William F.

Differential cochlear implant outcomes in older adults
The Laryngoscope, 2013The goals of this study were to analyze whether cochlear implant (CI) users over 65 years of age have different surgical and audiological outcomes when compared to younger adult CI users and to identify reasons for these possible differences.

Publisher Summary A cochlear implant system is an electrical stimulator that discharges electrical current to spiral ganglia, giving rise to action potentials in the auditory nerve fibers. It is also a medical instrument that can measure intracochlear evoked potentials, electrical field potentials generated by the electrodes, and electrode impedance ...

The future of cochlear implantation
Cochlear Implants International, 2003Safety has become an important issue, with the need to minimize the risk of transmitting infection to the cerebrospinal fluid. Hand-made electrode arrays are expensive and slow to make. Machine-made arrays have already been developed in Canada, and comparable techniques will, no doubt, arrive.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2003
Cochlear implantation is recognized as a valuable intervention with important implications for the acquisition of speech perception and verbal language in children with severe to profound hearing impairment. Auditory rehabilitation, language intervention, and close coordination between parents, schools, and the implant center are necessary to maximize ...

Listening effort with cochlear implant simulations.
Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2013PURPOSE Fitting a cochlear implant (CI) for optimal speech perception does not necessarily optimize listening effort. This study aimed to show that listening effort may change between CI processing conditions for which speech intelligibility remains ...

Bilateral Cochlear Implantation
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2012Cochlear implantation (CI) is the standard of care for the treatment of children and adults with bilateral severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Because the ultimate and continuous goal of CI teams is to improve patient performance, a potential method is bilateral CI.
