Changes in Intraoperative and Postoperative Neural Response Telemetry in Cochlear Implant Users

Neural response telemetry in cochlear implant users.

Programming of multichannel cochlear implants requires subjective responses to a series of sophisticated psychophysical percepts. It is often difficult for cochlear implant patients (especially young prelinguistically deaf children) to provide adequate responses for device fitting. However, the neural response telemetry (NRT) system renders possible the measurement of the compound action potent...

Monitoring longitudinal behaviour of impedance and Neural Response Telemetry measurements in a group of young cochlear implant users

Longitudinal Analysis of the Absence of Intraoperative Neural Response Telemetry in Children using Cochlear Implants

Introduction Currently the cochlear implant allows access to sounds in individuals with profound hearing loss. The objective methods used to verify the integrity of the cochlear device and the electrophysiologic response of users have noted these improvements. Objective To establish whether the evoked compound action potential of the auditory nerve can appear after electrical stimulation when i...

Advances in cochlear implant telemetry: evoked neural responses, electrical field imaging, and technical integrity.

During the last decade, cochlear implantation has evolved into a well-established treatment of deafness, predominantly because of many improvements in speech processing and the controlled excitation of the auditory nerve. Cochlear implants now also feature telemetry, which is highly useful to monitor the proper functioning of the implanted electronics and electrode contacts. Telemetry can also ...

Vestibular function in cochlear implant users.

UNLABELLED Balance alterations in the postoperative of cochlear implant surgeries varies from 31 to 75%. AIM to analyze vestibular function in the pre and postoperative periods of cochlear implanted individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS the vestibular function was assessed, through electronystagmography, in 38 patients, in the pre and postoperative of cochlear implant procedures. RESULTS The...
