Cochlear implants are the best treatment for congenital profound deafness. Pediatric candidates to implantation are seen as vulnerable citizens, and the decision of implanting cochlear devices is ultimately in the hands ...

Background and objectives: Imaging exams play a key role in cochlear implants with regard to both planning implantation before surgery and quality control after surgery. The ability to visualize the three-dimensional ...

Considering the speech rehabilitation in children with hearing impairment and cochlear implant and the evidence of possible stimuli control transference of reading to naming, the objective of the present study was to ...

Cochlear implant surgery is a successful procedure for auditory rehabilitation of patients with severe to profound hearing loss. However, cochlear implantation may lead to damage to the inner ear, which decreases residual ...

The electrical stimulation generated by the Cochlear Implant (CI) may improve the neural synchrony and hence contribute to the development of auditory skills in patients with Auditory Neuropathy / Auditory Dyssynchrony ...

HYPOTHESIS: Based on a three-dimensional analysis, the orientation of the basal turn of the cochlea, the disposition of the basilar membrane, and the characteristics of the hook region--all of which determine the ideal ...

This four-experiment series sought to evaluate the potential of children with neurosensory deafness and cochlear implants to exhibit auditory-visual and visual-visual stimulus equivalence relations within a matching-to-sample ...
