Some observations about cochlear implants: challenges and future directions
At the present time, cochlear implantation is the only available medical intervention for patients with profound hearing loss and is considered the “standard of care” for both prelingually deaf infants and post-lingually deaf adults. It has been suggested recently that cochlear implants are one of the greatest accomplishments of auditory neuroscience. Despite the enormous success of cochlear im...
متن کاملFuture Directions for Cochlear Implants Orientations futures pour les implants cochleaires
Cochlear implants have provided the opportunity for many postIingually deafened adults to hear. Results from sophisticated multichannel implants show a very wide range of performance across patients. We review some of these findings and present a method for measuring lipreading enhancement by considering the percentage of possible enhancement. Prelingually deafened children with cochlear implan...
متن کاملCochlear implants: current designs and future possibilities.
The cochlear implant is the most successful of all neural prostheses developed to date. It is the most effective prosthesis in terms of restoration of function, and the people who have received a cochlear implant outnumber the recipients of other types of neural prostheses by orders of magnitude. The primary purpose of this article is to provide an overview of contemporary cochlear implants fro...

متن کاملTwo new directions in speech processor design for cochlear implants.
Two new approaches to the design of speech processors for cochlear implants are described. The first aims to represent "fine structure" or "fine frequency" information in a way that it can be perceived and used by patients, and the second aims to provide a closer mimicking than was previously possible of the signal processing that occurs in the normal cochlea.
