I am truly saddened to announce that as of today, there is one fewer Cochlear Implant company in the world. Oticon Medical Cochlear implant division has been taken over by Cochlear Ltd. I am grateful to Cochlear for agreeing to take care of all existing Oticon Medical and Neurelec patients going forward and hope they provide a good home for all of our friends in the Oticon Medical family.

What happens when you place an electrode into the cochlear apex in addition to a standard insertion of a perimodiolar electrode? Our new paper shows that current can be provided either in a traditional monopolar configuration or passed into the cochlear apex. This allows stimulation into the cochlear apex without the need for a longer electrode or losing the benefits of a perimodiolar design.

E1 in the helicotrema. Another is to determine how placement of ECE1 reshapes electric fields. Design: Two cadaveric half-heads were implanted, and electric voltage tomography was measured with ECE1 placed in many positions. Results: An approach for placing ECE1 was identified. Changes in electric f...

We've got a new study out in which we measure the accuracy of a cochlear implant to convey tuning. The research is novel in that it studies abilities with single-sided deafened CI users in their acoustic ear alone as a control condition for their ability with their implanted ear.

Music through a cochlear implant (CI) is described as out-of-tune, suggesting that musical intervals are not accurately provided by a CI. One potential reason i...

Tonight at 6PM, Sharon Kujawa is talking about Hidden Hearing Loss. This is the idea that after noise exposure (loud concerts?) audiograms and thresholds return to "normal". However, the quality or functioning of the sound may be permanently impacted.
