Auditory training strategies for adult users of cochlear implants [PDF]
, 2013 There has been growing interest recently in whether computer-based training can improve speech perception among users of cochlear implants (Fu et al., 2005; Oba et al., 2011; Ingvalson et al., 2013). This paper reports a series of experiments which first

Development of brainstem-evoked responses in congenital auditory deprivation [PDF]
, 2012 To compare the development of the auditory system in hearing and completely acoustically deprived animals, naive congenitally deaf white cats (CDCs) and hearing controls (HCs) were investigated at different developmental stages from birth till adulthood.

Intracochlear Inflammatory Response to Cochlear Implant Electrodes in Humans
Otology and Neurotology, 2014 Hypothesis This study evaluates the types and degrees of tissue response adjacent to the electrode of multichannel cochlear implants. Background Cochlear implant electrodes have been classified as biocompatible prostheses.

Impact of electrode design and surgical approach on scalar location and cochlear implant outcomes
The Laryngoscope, 2014 Three surgical approaches: cochleostomy (C), round window (RW), and extended round window (ERW); and two electrodes types: lateral wall (LW) and perimodiolar (PM), account for the vast majority of cochlear implantations.

Visual activation of auditory cortex reflects maladaptive plasticity in cochlear implant users [PDF]
, 2017 Cross-modal reorganization in the auditory cortex has been reported in deaf individuals. However, it is not well understood whether this compensatory reorganization induced by auditory deprivation recedes once the sensation of hearing is partially ...

Early assessment of vestibular function after unilateral cochlear implant surgery [PDF]
, 2019 Introduction : Cochlear implantation (CI) has been reported to negatively effect on the vestibular function. The study of the vestibular function has variably been conducted by different types of diagnostic tools. The combined use of modern, rapidly

Phonological awareness, vocabulary, and word reading in children who use cochlear implants: does age of implantation explain individual variability in performance outcomes and growth? [PDF]
, 2007 The phonological awareness (PA), vocabulary, and word reading abilities of 19 children with cochlear implants (CI) were assessed. Nine children had an implant early (between 2 and 3.6 years) and 10 had an implant later (between 5 and 7 years ...

Analysis of ceiling effects occurring with speech recognition tests in adult cochlear-implanted patients [PDF]
, 2004 This article presents a simple method of analysing speech test scores which are biased through ceiling effects. Eighty postlingually deafened adults implanted with a MED-EL COMBI 40/40+ cochlear implant (CI) were administered a numbers test and a ...
