Bilateral Cochlear Implantation: Indications for Fitting of the Implants
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The article describes the sequence of actions during fitting of the cochlear implants after the bilateral cochlear implantation. For fitting and equalization of the loudness of two implants we use method SHCHUP. We discuss the question of auditory deprivation and the necessary wearing of the hearing aid (HA) at opposite ear till second CI. This article is based on fifteen years’ experience of Clinical Practice with more than one thousand cochlear implanted patients with MEDEL implants. The General principles and methods of fitting are applicable to any type of implants.

To avoid auditory deprivation and to provide binaural hearing, a hearing aid or a second cochlear implant can be fitted to that ear. This article addresses the question of whether better binaural hearing can be achieved with binaural/bimodal fitting (combining a cochlear impl...

The goal of the implantable devices in yo...
متن کاملAuditory Brainstem Implants
Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) are currently indicated for patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF-2) tumors involving both vestibulocochlear nerves. The ABI helps bypass the damaged cochlear nerves and stimulates the cochlear nucleus in the brainstem directly thereby restoring auditory sensation. The implant is usually placed in the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle after tumor res...
