CIC white paper - Starkey
نویسنده
چکیده
Some of these advantages include decreased occlusion (Mueller, 1994), increased patient satisfaction (Ebinger et al., 1994), decreased amplification of wind noise (Fortune & Preves, 1994), and improved localization ability (Best et al., 2010). If canal fitting of a hearing aid provides significant benefits over a BTE form factor, then it might be assumed that deep-canal hearing aid fitting could enhance those benefits. The premier option for deep-canal fitting is the Starkey SoundLensTM, the industry’s first invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) custom hearing aid. Traditionally, a CIC is fit one to two millimeters inside the aperture of the ear canal, whereas the IIC is fit to the second bend of the ear canal, positioning the faceplate well past the aperture. For additional background information on the IIC, please refer to Van Vliet and Galster (2010). A research project was developed to investigate the benefits provided by the IIC as compared to CIC and BTE hearing aids; four experimental questions were asked:

PET imaging of demyelination and remyelination in the cuprizone mouse model for multiple sclerosis: A comparison between [11C]CIC and [11C]MeDAS
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by demyelinated lesions. PET imaging using specific myelin radioligands might solve the lack of a specific imaging tool for diagnosing and monitoring demyelination and remyelination in MS patients. In recent years, a few tracers have been developed for in vivo PET imaging of myelin, but they have not been fully evaluated yet. ...
متن کاملEfficient Technique for Improving the Frequency Response of CIC Compensation
This paper presents a new method to improve the frequency response of CIC compensation filter. After the CIC filter cascaded the fir filter which has inversed magnitude response to CIC compensation filter was proposed, which improved the pass band and the transition band features of the CIC filter and improved the performance of CIC compensation filter. The decimation factor introduced. It pres...
متن کاملUptake and metabolism of ciclesonide and retention of desisobutyryl-ciclesonide for up to 24 hours in rabbit nasal mucosa
BACKGROUND The nasal tissue uptake and metabolism of ciclesonide, a new-generation corticosteroid under investigation for treatment of allergic rhinitis, to its active metabolite, desisobutyryl-ciclesonide (des-CIC), was evaluated when administered to rabbits in a hypotonic versus an isotonic ciclesonide suspension. Nasal mucosa extracts from normal Japanese white rabbits were evaluated by high...
متن کاملMultistage Cic Filters for Subband Tuning
This paper introduces a new multistage CIC decimation filter based on non recursive and modified recursive structure of CIC filter. The resulting decimation filter has an improved magnitude response compared with that of a corresponding conventional CIC filter. Additionally the filter is a multiplierfree and has no filtering at high input rate. The sharpening technique is used to further improv...
