This article describes issues concerning music perception with cochlear implants, discusses
why music perception is usually poor in cochlear implant users, reviews relevant data, and …

Current implant devices, and those soon to be available, have substantial untapped potential
to improve the auditory experience of their recipients. It is likely that in the near future, …

Cochlear implantation has undergone tremendous evolution over the past 5 years, with
advances in processing strategies, electrode design, and a greater push toward bilateral …

Since cochlear implant function involves direct depolarization of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs)
by applied current, SGN physiological health must be an important factor in cochlear …

The probabilistic gating of voltage-dependent ion channels is a source of electrical ‘channel
noise' in neurons. This noise has long been implicated in limiting the reliability (repeatability…

Objectives: Incomplete return of facial motor function and synkinesis continue to be long‐term
sequelae in some patients with Bell's palsy. The aim of this report is to describe a …

Speech perception ability in noise is one of the most practical measures of success with a
cochlear implant; however, with experience, this ability can change dramatically over time, …

Objective: Cochlear implants (CI) have provided tremendous benefit for speech recognition
in quiet for patients with severe and profound hearing impairment, but implant users still …

Objective To evaluate the binaural listening advantages for speech in quiet and in noise and
to localize sound when independently programmed binaural cochlear implants are used, …

Objective This study aimed at testing the post-hoc validity of the previously reported predictive
index for postoperative cochlear implant performance, based on preoperative duration of …
