Amazing progress has been made in providing useful hearing to hearing-impaired
individuals using cochlear implants, but challenges remain. One such challenge is …

Cochlear implants are highly successful neural prostheses for persons with severe or
profound hearing loss who gain little benefit from hearing aid amplification. Although …

This study examines the relationship between focused-stimulation thresholds, electrode
positions, and speech understanding in deaf subjects treated with a cochlear implant (CI) …

Variability in speech perception scores among cochlear implant listeners may largely reflect
the variable efficacy of implant electrodes to convey stimulus information to the auditory …

Fundamental frequency (F0) processing by cochlear implant (CI) listeners was measured
using a psychophysical task and a speech intonation recognition task. Listeners' Weber …

The efficacy of cochlear implants is limited by spatial and temporal interactions among
channels. This study explores the spatially restricted tripolar electrode configuration and …

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the ability of a threshold measure, made
with a restricted electrode configuration, to identify channels exhibiting relatively poor spatial …

Speech perception among cochlear implant (CI) listeners is highly variable. High degrees of
channel interaction are associated with poorer speech understanding. Two methods for …

There are a number of psychophysical and electrophysiological measures that are
correlated with SGN density in animal models, and these same measures can be performed …

Objectives/Hypothesis Results from a prospective trial demonstrated better speech
recognition for cochlear implant (CI) recipients implanted with a long lateral wall electrode …
