Combining Cochlear Implants and Hearing Instruments
Recently, it has been observed, that “ . . . an increasing number of people with unilateral cochlear implants have residual hearing in the non-implanted ear that is usable with acoustic amplification. Nevertheless, many adults who receive a unilateral cochlear implant do not continue to wear a hearing aid in the non-implanted ear” (Ching, Incerti and Hill 2004). In order to explore ways of impr...
متن کاملRestoring hearing symmetry with two cochlear implants or one cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid.
With today's technology and the demonstrated success of cochlear implantation, along with expanded candidacy criteria, the opportunity to provide optimal hearing to both ears for individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss is greater than ever. This article reviews the advantages of binaural hearing and the disadvantages of hearing with only one ear or hearing with two ears with significan...
متن کاملCochlear implants and hearing aids: some personal and professional reflections.
The ear, nose, and throat physician who diagnosed my hearing loss many years ago called it a “progressive hearing loss” and told me that I would eventually be going deaf. And then he went on to his next patient. It took me a long time to realize that what he meant by “deaf” was not a condition that I would ever fully experience. He apparently used the term as a medical diagnostic label and not ...
متن کاملCooperation between hearing and vision in people with cochlear implants.
The cochlear implant (CI) is the single most successful neuroprosthetic device available today, often restoring functional hearing in many of those who were profoundly deaf (1). Unlike traditional hearing aids that serve to amplify ambient sound, the CI bypasses the transduction process and provides direct electrical signals to the nerve fibers of the inner ear. Consequently, candidates for the...
متن کاملCochlear Implants and Hearing Preservation Advances in Oto-Rhino-Laryngology
Hearing preservation after cochlear implantation and combined electric acoustic stimulation (EAS) in the same ear has reduced the gap between prosthetic hearing rehabilitation with hearing aids and cochlear implants. This has increased the possibility of successful hearing rehabilitation for patients. This paper describes the history of hearing preservation after cochlear implantation. Indicati...
