Increased Resting-State Positron Emission Tomography Activity After Cochlear Implantation in Adult Deafened Cats [PDF]
Objectives. Cochlear implants are widely used for hearing rehabilitation in patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss. However, Cochlear implants have variable results, and central neural plasticity is considered to be a reason for this ...

An Implantable Piezofilm Middle Ear Microphone: Performance in Human Cadaveric Temporal Bones [PDF]
Purpose: One of the major reasons that totally implantable cochlear microphones are not readily available is the lack of good implantable microphones. An implantable microphone has the potential to provide a range of benefits over external microphones for cochlear implant users including the filtering ability of the outer ear, cosmetics, and usability ...

Cochlear Implantation in Neurobrucellosis
Neurobrucellosis is a disease consisting of a wide spectrum of complications such as peripheral neuropathy, cranial nerve involvement, ataxia, meningeal irritation, paraplegia, seizures, coma, and even death. The vestibulocochlear nerve seems to be the most commonly affected cranial nerve (10%). We present a patient with neurobrucellosis whose auditory

Experimental validation of a three-dimensional heat transfer model within the scala tympani with application to magnetic cochlear implant surgery [PDF]
Magnetic guidance of cochlear implants is a promising technique to reduce the risk of physical trauma during surgery. In this approach, a magnet attached to the tip of the implant electrode array is guided within the scala tympani using a magnetic field.

Cochlear implant histopathology [PDF]
The microscopic examination of fifty‐five serially sectioned implanted temporal bones has provided insight into what is being stimulated; and the changes that are the result of the insertion and presence of the implant. The ganglion cell bodies (neurons) are structures being stimulated (two laboratories have reported an inverse relationship of the ...
