The cochlear implant (CI) as a treatment option for single-sided deafness (SSD) started with clinical study looking in to the influence of implantation MED-EL device on incapacitating unilateral tinnitus SSD. began 2003 and was conducted by P. Van de Heyning his team Antwerp, Belgium. first CI SSD without Germany implanted J. Mueller R. Jacob Koblenz 2005. Translational research activities took...

Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) computation is known to be one of the most computation-intensive components in speech decoding. In our previous work, context-independent model based GMM selection (CIGMMS) was found to be an effective way to reduce the cost of GMM computation without significant loss in recognition accuracy. In this work, we propose three methods to further improve the performance ...

Dear Editor: In a recent issue of this journal (vol. 40, issue No. 1, pp. vii–ix), Alexander Dromerick, MD, contributed an editorial on " Evidence-based rehabilitation: The case for and against constraint-induced movement therapy. " We strongly endorse the first part of the editorial that speaks to the importance of basing clinical practice in neurorehabilita-tion on a solid foundation of exper...

In this paper, we considered ideal and filter of CI-algebra, and some fundamental properties to CI-algebras are discussed. Mathematics Subject Classification: 06F35, 03G25, 08A30

Adaptation to the acoustic world following cochlear implantation does not typically include formal training or extensive audiological rehabilitation. Can cochlear implant (CI) users benefit from formal training, and if so, what type of training is best? This study used a pre/post-test design to evaluate the efficacy and generalization of training in normal hearing subjects listening to CI simul...
