Cochlear implants [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2014
Cochlear implants are the first example of a neural prosthesis that can substitute a sensory organ: they bypass the malfunctioning auditory periphery of profoundly-deaf people to electrically stimulate their auditory nerve. The history of cochlear implants dates back to 1957, when Djourno and Eyriès managed, for the first time, to elicit sound ...

Effects of congenital hearing loss and cochlear implantation on audiovisual speech perception in infants and children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Purpose: Cochlear implantation has recently become available as an intervention strategy for young children with profound hearing impairment. In fact, infants as young as 6 months are now receiving cochlear implants (CIs), and even younger infants are ...

Cochlear implantation in a patient with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA

open access: yesSAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2019
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (OMIM 253000; also known as Morquio A syndrome) is associated with skeletal, airway, and hearing abnormalities. Cochlear implantation is an effective intervention for patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss.

Cochlear Implantation in Extraordinary Cases

open access: yesBalkan Medical Journal, 2015
Background: Although cochlear implantation has been almost a standard otological procedure worldwide, it may still create a dilemma for the surgeon in some unusual instances such as Seckel syndrome, aural atresia and posterior fossa arachnoid cyst ...

Speech Perception Outcomes after Cochlear Implantation in Children with GJB2/DFNB1 associated Deafness

open access: yesBalkan Medical Journal, 2014
Background: Cochlear implants (CI) for the rehabilitation of patients with profound or total bilateral sensorineural hypoacusis represent the initial use of electrical fields to provide audibility in cases where the use of sound amplifiers does not ...

Biomaterials in cochlear implants [PDF]

open access: yesLaryngo- rhino- otologie, 2009
The cochlear implant (CI) represents, for almost 25 years now, the gold standard in the treatment of children born deaf and for postlingually deafened adults. These devices thus constitute the greatest success story in the field of ‘neurobionic’ prostheses.
