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 ...

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 ...

The right information may matter more than frequency-place alignment: Simulations of frequency-aligned and upward shifting cochlear implant processors for a shallow electrode array insertion [PDF]
, 2006 Objective: It has been claimed that speech recognition with a cochlear implant is dependent on the correct frequency alignment of analysis bands in the speech processor with characteristic frequencies (CFs) at electrode locations.

Therapeutic approach to pediatric acute mastoiditis – an update
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2019 Introduction: Acute mastoiditis remains the most common complication of acute otitis media. It may rarely appear also in cochlear implant patients. However, the treatment recommendations for this disease are not precisely defined or employed, and in the ...
