For people with poor high frequency hearing who retain good hearing at low frequencies, a new cochlear implant can provide the needed stimulation to improve that high frequency hearing.
Image-Guided CI Clinically Feasible
How effective is minimally invasive image-guided surgery for cochlear implantation (CI) in a clinical setting?
No Evidence of CI Damage During Monopolar Cautery
Does monopolar cautery use adversely affect an existing cochlear implant?
Cochlear Implants Effective in Older Patients with Age-Related Hearing Loss
Management of Acute Otitis Media in Cochlear Implant Recipients: To Tube or Not to Tube?
Evidence and policy statements favor using a myringotomy tube in acute otitis-prone children undergoing cochlear implant
Literature Review: A Roundup of Important Recent Studies
Speech perception lower in older CI users; caseload volume predictor of thyroid surgery outcomes; younger patients with mucosal HNCA have better survival rates; CT scan use for diagnosing CRS remains steady
Is Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging More Useful in the Evaluation of Pediatric Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
Computed tomography (CT) may be a better initial choice, but a dual approach is useful for a patient who may be a candidate for cochlear implant
