Cochlear implants (CIs) are the world's most successful sensory prosthesis and have been
the subject of intense research and development in recent decades. We critically review the …

Background Hearing impairment that is too severe to be adequately treated with
conventional hearing aids can lead, in children, to severe developmental disturbances of …

While the majority of cochlear implant recipients benefit from the device, it remains difficult to
estimate the degree of benefit for a specific patient prior to implantation. Using data from …

Carbon-based conductive and electroactive materials (eg, derivatives of graphene,
fullerenes, polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyaniline) have been studied since the 1970s for …

Background: Consensus is lacking with regard to whether hearing loss is an independent
risk factor for dementia. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to clarify the relationship of …

Noise accounts for one-third of hearing loss worldwide. Regretfully, noise-induced hearing
loss (NIHL) is deemed to be irreversible due to the elusive pathogenic mechanisms that …

Hearing loss has been identified as a potentially modifiable risk for dementia. This
discussion paper reviews studies examining the impact of hearing loss interventions on …

A cochlear implant is a neuroprosthetic device that can restore speech perception for people
with severe to profound hearing loss. Because of recent evolutions, a growing number of …

The outcome of cochlear implantation is typically assessed by speech recognition tests in
quiet and in noise. Many cochlear implant recipients reveal satisfactory speech recognition …

Objectives The goal was to investigate the relationship between the insertion angle/cochlear
coverage of cochlear implant electrode arrays and post-operative speech recognition scores …
