As the most successful neural prosthesis, cochlear implants have provided partial hearing to
more than 120000 persons worldwide; half of which being pediatric users who are able to …

Ribbon‐class synapses in the ear achieve analog to digital transformation of a continuously
graded membrane potential to all‐or‐none spikes. In mammals, several auditory nerve …

A system-on-chip for an invisible, fully-implantable cochlear implant is presented.
Implantable acoustic sensing is achieved by interfacing the SoC to a piezoelectric sensor …

This paper reports the development of a single cantilever thin film PLD-PZT transducer
prototype. The device was experimentally characterized by attaching it on an acoustically …

Features of stimulation important for speech recognition in people with normal hearing and
in people using implanted auditory prostheses include spectral information represented by …

A wealth of knowledge about different types of neural responses to electrical stimulation has
been developed over the past 100 years. However, the exact forms of neural response …

High stimulation rates in cochlear implants (CI) offer better temporal sampling, can induce
stochastic-like firing of auditory neurons and can increase the electric dynamic range, all of …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate hearing outcomes and effects of stimulation rate on performance
with the Nucleus Freedom cochlear implant (Cochlear Americas, Denver, CO). STUDY …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare two novel fine structure strategies
“FS4” and “FS4-p” with the established fine structure processing (FSP) strategy. FS4 …

Objective: Following recent findings that rhythmic priming can enhance speech perception,
the aim of this experiment was to investigate whether this extends to speech production …
