Changes in Tinnitus Perception Following Cochlear Implantation and Hearing Aid Use
… review is to identify changes in tinnitus post cochlear implantation and post amplification. Primarily subjective, qualitative measures including the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, the Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire, the Tinnitus Reaction Questionnaire, and the Tinnitus Questionnaire were used to …

Comparisons of unilateral and bilateral cochlear implantation for children: spatial listening skills and quality of life
… whether they should be provided with bilateral cochlear implants (two implants, one in each ear) rather than a unilateral cochlear implant (one implant in one ear). Potentially, implanting both ears rather than one could improve children’s spatial listening skills, meaning the ability to …

Cochlear Implantation as a Treatment Option for Adults with Post-lingual Single Sided Deafness: A Systematic Review of the Literature
… due to the loss of binaural auditory input. Cochlear implantation was introduced in the 2000s as an experimental treatment option for suppression/abatement of tinnitus in individuals with SSD, with consistent demonstration in reduction of tinnitus severity. Most recently, the focus has …

Effect of cochlear shape and size on cochlear implant insertion forces
… the critical factors and parameters influencing cochlear implantation outcomes, with the ultimate aim to enhance surgical practices and patient outcomes. Chapter 2 offers a detailed overview of the anatomical and physical properties of the cochlea to aid the development of accurate models for …

Benefit and Quality of Life Improvement in Older Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients: A Review of the Literature
… to provide adequate benefit. In these cases, a cochlear implant is indicated. The literature on cochlear implantation in older adults has shown that it offers significant speech perception and quality of life benefits to this population. However, it remains controversial despite ample research …

Language in Medical Worlds: Hearing Technology for Deaf Jordanian Children
… the provision of hearing technology, such as cochlear implants, to deaf Jordanian children, a project animated by an imperative to make deaf children speak. Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork at a cochlear implantation initiative and an audiology department in Amman, I argue that this …

Sound localization and interaural time sensitivity with bilateral cochlear implants
Bilateral cochlear implantation is becoming more common as clinicians attempt to provide better sound-source localization and speech reception in noise for cochlear implant (CI) users. While some improvement over the abilities of monolateral implantees has been documented, bilateral performance for …

Binaural interactions in the auditory midbrain with bilateral electric stimulation of the cochlea
Bilateral cochlear implantation seeks to restore the advantages of binaural hearing to the profoundly deaf by giving them access to binaural cues normally important for accurate sound localization and speech reception in noise. This thesis characterizes binaural interactions in auditory neurons …

Meta-Analysis of Behavior Problems in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children
… social contexts, language development (LD), and cochlear implantation (CIs). The purpose of this dissertation was to analyze findings across studies for trends in BPs in DHH children. Specifically, a model of the effect of deafness, CI use, and LD on the emergence of BPs in DHH children as …

Tongue based hearing enhancement system
… have been getting increased all over the world. Cochlear implantation is considered as a primary treatment of high degree hearing impairment. However, there still exist some risks and side effects of this surgical procedure even though there have been a lot of trials and researches over few …

Electro-anatomical models of the cochlear implant
While cochlear implantation has become the standard care in treating patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, the variation in benefit (communicative ability) individual patients derive from implantation remains both large and, for the most part, unexplained. One explanation for …

The Role of Facial Gestural Information in Supporting Perceptual Learning of Degraded Speech
… simulation of speech transduced through a cochlear implant, and 4-channel NV speech is difficult for naïve listeners to understand, but can be learned over several sentences of practice. In Experiment I, each trial began with an auditory-alone presentation of a degraded stimulus for report …

The Effects of Visuospatial Sequence Training with Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Abstract Despite advances in hearing aid and cochlear implant technologies, many children who are deaf or hard of hearing continue to lag behind typically hearing peers in language and reading abilities. Additionally, there is a high degree of variability in language outcomes among children with a …

Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Auditory Neuropathy
… various isoforms, some brain-specific and others cochlear-specific, expressed only in adult mouse IHC. Upon finding OTOF mutations in three of the four original NSRAN families, another hypothesis was developed to explain the somewhat conflicting clinical data. Previous OTOF mutation reports didn’t …

An Investigation into Tinnitus in Adult Users of a Cochlear Implant and Methods for Determining Appropriate Sound Textures for Use in Sound Enrichment Tinnitus Therapy
… hearing loss. The insertion and use of cochlear implants has been widely reported to lessen the impact of tinnitus in such cases; however, a review of the data shows that tinnitus remains troublesome in a significant proportion of those who have undergone cochlear implantation. The …

Psychological aspects of auditory disorders : cognitive functioning and psychological state
… (Part II) are concerned with the psychology of cochlear implantation. Methodological issues concerning psychological assessment in this context are discussed. Study Two uses Repertory Grid Technique to assess the psychological consequences of using an implant. Eight out of ten subjects reported …

Biohybrid Neural Interfaces: Exploring the Role of Regional Astroglia in Neuronal Integration and Functionality
… (BNIs) offer an innovative approach to neural implantation by incorporating living neurons and traditional neural implants. This creates a dynamic cellular environment that allows for more natural interactions with host neural tissues. Given that BNIs incorporate living neurons, their …

ERP correlates of semantic and syntactic processing in cochlear implant users.
… in this work given its compatibility with cochlear implantation. Cochlear implant (CI) is a neuroprosthesis that allows the acoustic signal to bypass the impaired inner hear system, by sending an electrical input directly to the acoustic nerve. Although it represents an important success …
