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 Electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves is used in a variety of applications
such as restoring motor function in paralyzed limbs, and more recently, as means to provide …

After severe hair cell loss, secondary degeneration of spiral ganglion cells (SGCs) is
observed—a gradual process that spans years in humans but only takes weeks in guinea …

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 …

The electrically evoked compound action potential (eCAP) represents the synchronous firing
of a population of electrically stimulated auditory nerve fibers. It can be directly recorded on …

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

We investigated the effect of pulse duration (PD) and interphase-gap (IPG) on the electrically-
evoked auditory brain stem response (EABR) and viiith nerve compound action potential …

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

The cochlear implant (CI) is widely considered to be one of the most innovative and
successful neuroprosthetic treatments developed to date. Although outcomes vary, CIs are …

Spiral ganglion cell (SGC) degeneration following hair cell loss can be prevented by
administration of exogenous neurotrophic factors. Many of these neurotrophic factors, in …
