Cochlear dead regions constrain the benefit of combining acoustic stimulation with electric stimulation.
OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to (1) detect the presence and edge frequency (fe) of a cochlear dead region in the ear with residual acoustic hearing for bimodal cochlear implant users, and (2) determine whether amplification based on the presence or absence of a dead region would improve speech understanding and sound quality. DESIGN Twenty-two listeners with a cochlear implant in one...
متن کاملPartial deafness cochlear implantation (PDCI) and electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS).
The purposes of this paper are to (1) review briefly the experience to date with combined EAS for patients with some residual, low-frequency hearing; and (2) describe the further results that have been obtained with this combination for patients with higher levels of residual hearing at low frequencies, termed 'PDCI'. In broad terms, PDCI and combined EAS have produced large improvements in the...
متن کاملElectric acoustic stimulation in children.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The combined electric acoustic stimulation (EAS) of one ear is a topic that has received considerable attention over the last 10 years, the technique having originally been introduced by Prof. Christoph A. von Ilberg for so-called borderline adult cochlear implant (CI) candidates. Its development has followed several parallel strands, including the modification of existing surgi...
متن کاملAssessment of the subjective benefit of electric acoustic stimulation with the abbreviated profile of hearing aid benefit.
CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) significantly decreases the subjective impairment in speech perception. OBJECTIVES To assess the subjective benefit of EAS over the first 12 months after EAS fitting using the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB). METHOD Twenty-three EAS users, implanted with either the PULSAR(CI)(100) FLEX(EAS) provid...
متن کاملThe benefits of combining acoustic and electric stimulation for the recognition of speech, voice and melodies.
Fifteen patients fit with a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other ear were presented with tests of speech and melody recognition and voice discrimination under conditions of electric (E) stimulation, acoustic (A) stimulation and combined electric and acoustic stimulation (EAS). When acoustic information was added to electrically stimulated information performance increased ...
