Cochlear implantation

Programming of the speech-processors in children provided with Cochlear Implant causes sometimes problems, especially in very small children. This becomes important at this time as the implantation-age of the children decreases continuously. With Neural Response Telemetry (NRT) stands for the Nucleus ® 24 Cochlear Implant system a new principle of programming of the speech processor […]

The results of the use of clarion implants in 30 Indian patients have been evaluated. Cases included in the study were prelingual & postlingual patients where the cochlea was normal and prelingual patients where the cochlea had a Mondini defect or was ossified. It was found that multiple speech strategies available with the Clarion implant […]

The developement of new cochlear implant devices allows the opportunity to use more sophisticated speech encoding strategies. The Nucleus 24 channels cochlear implant system offers the possibility to compare different strategies within the same patient. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal map by changing the three available speech encoding strategies (SPEAK, […]

Dall’aprile 1992 al maggio 2001 il gruppo Impianti Cocleari di Milano ha effettuato 92 applicazioni di impianto cocleare multicanale. L’attività è avvenuta fino al 1996 nell’ambito dell’Istituto di Audiologia dell’Università degli Studi di Milano successivamente presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Otorinolaringologiche dell’Università degli Studi di Milano, Ospedale Policlinico. I candidati all’impianto sono stati sempre sottoposti […]

Obliteration of cochlea either by fibrous or osseous tissue is not a rare occurrence in cochlear implant candidates and it was once considered a contraindication to cochlear implantation (Balkany 1987; Luxford 1987). Obliteration may occur as consequence of the pathology of meningitis, chronic otitis media, severe otosclerosis, autoimmune inner ear diseases and temporal bone traumas. […]
