Cochlear Implantation in Autoimmune Inner‐Ear Disease: Outcome and Patient‐Reported Benefit

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that patients with secondary autoimmune inner‐ear disease (AIED) achieve significant improvements in speech perception and quality of life following cochlear implantation. Although AIED patients may show slightly lower performance in noisy environments compared to controls, their subjective hearing benefit converges with matched

Bilayer Resists for 193 nm Lithography: SSQ and POSS

Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology, 2006
Positive 193 nm bilayer resists based on polysilsesquioxanes (SSQ) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) are described. Fluoroalcohol is employed as an acid group. Our POSS materials are prepared by condensation of functional trialkoxysilane rather than by the commonly employed hydrosilylation on POSS and consist of T3 while the ...
