Can intraoperative electrically evoked auditory brainstem responses predict the outcome of cochlear implantation?

1 March 2016 | | Auditory brainstem implant, Cochlear implant, Electrical auditory brainstem response

Electrophysiology during cochlear implant surgery remains an issue of debate among the various centres. In the present study, the latencies and quality of the eABR waveforms from 74 adult implanted patients were analysed. In addition, four children with severe cochlear...

Childhood speech processing in background noise

1 January 2016 | | Auditory development, Auditory processing, Electrophysiology, FFR, Speech recognition in noise, cABR

Normal childhood development of the auditory systems involves mapping sounds to meaning and the neural coding of speech. Children are often subjected to adverse listening environments such as high levels of background noise. This paper aimed to delineate the effects...

Does head trauma as aetiology of deafness affect the outcomes of cochlear implantation?

1 May 2015 | | Auditory rehabilitation, Cochlear implant, Head trauma

Head trauma associated with temporal bone fractures is a well known aetiological factor for deafness. The literature assessing the outcomes of cochlear implantation in such cases is rather limited. In this paper, the authors compared the performance of implantees with...
