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 …

Most patients with hearing loss significant enough to result in social dysfunction can be
treated with nonsurgical interventions. In many instances, environmental manipulations are …

Continuum robots are not constructed with discrete joints but, instead, change shape and
position their tip by flexing along their entire length. Their narrow curvilinear shape makes …

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the benefit of having preserved acoustic
hearing in the implanted ear for speech recognition in complex listening environments …

Objective: To describe the relationship between implantation-associated trauma and
postoperative speech perception scores among adult and pediatric patients undergoing …

Indications for cochlear implants are determined by audiological and medical
considerations. Clinical imaging is therefore an integral element for anatomical evaluation in …

Objectives/Hypothesis The concept of expanding electrical speech processing to those with
more residual acoustic hearing with a less‐invasive shorter cochlear implant (CI) has been …

Objectives: To investigate the preservation of residual hearing in subjects who received the
Nucleus Hybrid L24 cochlear implant. To investigate the performance benefits up to one …

Methods Electronic databases were systematically searched for relevant studies published
up to January 2012. All studies reporting on residual hearing and hearing preservation …

Objectives: In recent years, it has been possible to preserve hearing after cochlear
implantation in patients with significant amounts of low-frequency residual hearing. Due to …
