There are now many recipients of unilateral cochlear implants who have usable residual
hearing in the non-implanted ear. To avoid auditory deprivation and to provide binaural …

With today's technology and the demonstrated success of cochlear implantation, along with
expanded candidacy criteria, the opportunity to provide optimal hearing to both ears for …

The external ear or pinna (auricle) collects sound, which passes along the external auditory
canal to the eardrum (tympanic membrane)(Fig. 2.1). The middle ear (tympanum) is a cavity …

Speech recognition in noise and music perception is especially challenging for current
cochlear implant users. The present study utilizes the residual acoustic hearing in the …

Objective The purpose of the study was to investigate speech understanding in quiet and
noise in subjects bilaterally implanted with multi-channel cochlear implants. Design Nine …

Background: The use of bilateral amplification is now common clinical practice for hearing
aid users but not for cochlear implant recipients. In the past, most cochlear implant recipients …

This study aimed to (a) investigate the effect of using a hearing aid in conjunction with a
cochlear implant in opposite ears on speech perception in quiet and in noise,(b) identify the …

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate 1) whether a hearing aid needs to be
adjusted differently depending on whether a child wears a cochlear implant or another …

Objectives To characterize some of the benefits available from using two cochlear implants
compared with just one, sound-direction identification (ID) abilities, sensitivity to interaural …

Objectives: To make longitudinal comparisons of intelligence quotient (IQ) in children with
cochlear implants (CIs) and typical hearing peers from early in development to the school …
