The cochlear implant is the most successful of all neural prostheses developed to date. It is
the most effective prosthesis in terms of restoration of function, and the people who have …

Deafness affects∼ 2 in 1000 children and is one of the most common congenital
impairments. Permanent hearing loss can be treated by fitting hearing aids. More severe to …

The aims of this paper are to (i) provide a brief history of cochlear implants;(ii) present a
status report on the current state of implant engineering and the levels of speech …

Electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) was developed for individuals with a profound hearing
loss in the high frequencies and a substantial residual low-frequency hearing (LFH). For this …

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to determine whether a revision and/or
expansion of current audiologic cochlear implant candidacy criteria is warranted. Design …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the minimum amount of low-frequency
acoustic information that is required to achieve speech perception benefit in listeners with a …

The majority of recently implanted, cochlear implant patients can potentially benefit from a
hearing aid in the ear contralateral to the implant. When patients combine electric and …

Objective: To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the MED-EL Electric-Acoustic
Stimulation (EAS) System, for adults with residual low-frequency hearing and severe-to …

Objective To evaluate the use of monosyllabic word recognition versus sentence recognition
to determine candidacy and long‐term benefit for cochlear implantation. Study Design …

The topic of this review is the strategy of preserving residual acoustic hearing in the
implanted ear to provide combined electrical stimulation and acoustic hearing as a …
