Speech Perception in Children with Cochlear Implants
Cochlear implants provide access to the speech signal in children with hearing loss that often cannot benefit from acoustic hearing aids. However, despite the numerous positive results in pediatric cochlear implantation, published data still indicated a wide range of performance among implant recipients. Hence, a need to study the possible variables that can affect performance, could account fo...
متن کاملEmotional Perception of Music in Children with Unilateral Cochlear Implants
Introduction: Cochlear implantation (CI) improves language skills among children with hearing loss. However, children with CIs still fall short of fulfilling some other needs, including musical perception. This is often attributed to the biological, technological, and acoustic limitations of CIs. Emotions play a key role in the understanding and enjoyment of music. The present study aimed to in...
متن کاملDevelopment of a microfluidics-based intracochlear drug delivery device.
BACKGROUND Direct delivery of drugs and other agents into the inner ear will be important for many emerging therapies, including the treatment of degenerative disorders and guiding regeneration. METHODS We have taken a microfluidics/MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) technology approach to develop a fully implantable reciprocating inner-ear drug-delivery system capable of timed and sequenc...
متن کاملIntracochlear pressure measurements related to cochlear tuning.
Pressure in turn one of the scala tympani (s.t.) was measured close to the basilar membrane (b.m.) and at additional positions as the pressure sensor approached and/or withdrew from the b.m. The s.t. pressure measured within about 100 microm of the b.m. varied rapidly in space at frequencies around the region's best frequency. Very close to the b.m. the s.t. pressure was tuned and scaled nonlin...
متن کاملCorrelation between Auditory Spectral Resolution and Speech Perception in Children with Cochlear Implants
Background: Variability in speech performance is a major concern for children with cochlear implants (CIs). Spectral resolution is an important acoustic component in speech perception. Considerable variability and limitations of spectral resolution in children with CIs may lead to individual differences in speech performance. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between auditory ...
