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 …

As the most successful neural prosthesis, cochlear implants have provided partial hearing to
more than 120000 persons worldwide; half of which being pediatric users who are able 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 …

Cochlear implants have provided hearing to more than 120,000 deaf people. Recent
surgical developments include direct electrical stimulation of the brain, bilateral implants and …

Objective: Considerable unexplained variability and large individual differences exist in
speech recognition outcomes for postlingually deaf adults who use cochlear implants (CIs) …

Although significant progress has been made in understanding outcomes following cochlear
implantation, predicting performance remains a challenge. Duration of hearing loss, age at …

Objective To evaluate the stability of long-term hearing performance after cochlear
implantation (CI) in postlingually deafened adults and to explore the boundaries and …

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural basis of
comprehension and perceptual learning of artificially degraded [noise vocoded (NV)] …

Objectives: The aims of this study were to (i) evaluate the efficacy of phoneme discrimination
training for hearing and cognitive abilities of adults aged 50 to 74 years with mild …

In normal-hearing (NH) adults, long-term music training may benefit music and speech
perception, even when listening to spectro-temporally degraded signals as experienced by …
