Introduction: Cochlear implantation can facilitate the development of communication skills in children with profound hearing loss. The objectives of our study were to determine the average ages at suspicion and diagnosis of hearing loss, amplification, intervention, and performing the cochlear implantation and to investigate the effects of the parents’ level of education and economic circumsta...

cochlear implantation has become an increasingly common procedure in the rehabilitation of selected cases of profound deafness.' patients should have profound total bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. sound is transformed into small electric currents which stimulate the auditory nerves in the cochlea and generate the hearing sensation. the nucleus cochlear implant is the result of more t...

objectives: the aim of present study was evaluation of saccule function in cochlear implant candidates with severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss before and after cochlear implantation methods: in this study 35 cochlear implant (ci) candidates with bilateral severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss before and about 30 days after cochlear implant and 20 normal-hearing cases as a c...

a cochlear implant is an implanted electronic device used to provide a sensation of hearing to a person who is hard of hearing. the cochlear implant is often referred to as a bionic ear. this paper presents an undecimated wavelet‑based speech coding strategy for cochlear implants, which gives a novel speech processor. the undecimated wavelet packet transform (uwpt) is computed like the wavelet ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Imaging a cochlear implant with CT is challenging because of implant-induced artifacts, anatomic cochlear variations, and lack of standard terminology for cochlear anatomy. The purposes of this project were to determine whether the cochlear implant tip was more accurately located on oblique CT reformations than on standard images, to review radiology reports for accurate ...

Numerous changes continue to occur in cochlear implant candidacy. In general, these have been accompanied by concomitant and satisfactory changes in surgical techniques. Together, this has advanced the utility and safety of cochlear implantation. Most devices are now approved for use in patients with severe to profound unilateral hearing loss rather then the prior requirement of a bilateral pro...

Objective: The aim of the present research was to compare the auditory perception and verbal intelligibility in children with cochlear implant, hearing aids and normal hearing. Methods: 60 children aged 5-7 years were divided to three groups and each group contained 20 children. The first and second groups were selected ordinarily from children with cochlear implant and hearing aids by conve...

objective: the present study aimed to investigate the effects of group positive psychotherapy on increasing the happiness of mothers of children with cochlear implants.  methods: this study was a quasi-experimental research with pretest-posttest, a control group, and a 75-day follow-up design. a total of 20 mothers of children with cochlear implants treated in baqiyatallah hospital of tehran ci...

background : the number of children with cochlear implants who have other difficulties such as attention deficiency and cerebral palsy has increased dramatically. despite the need for information on the results of cochlear implantation in this group, the available literature is extremely limited. we, therefore, sought to compare the levels of auditory perception in children with cochlear implan...
