Cochlear implant (CI) treatment is now established as a successful standard of care for auditory rehabilitation of profoundly deaf or severe hearing loss patients. CI candidates with tinnitus also ben...
The hidden cochlear implant concept has two data transmission methods: Bluetooth low energy and transtympanic optical data transfer systems. This study aimed to present the hidden cochlear implant and...
The Bluetooth low energy module was implanted into the implant bed. For the transtympanic optical data transfer tests, a receiver was passed through the posterior tympanotomy, and the transmitter was ...
The Bluetooth low energy module range was 5.2-17.5 m. Transtympanic optical data transfer reached a rate of 1 Mbit/s and had 99.22 per cent accuracy. Despite various obstacles, the accuracy of the tra...
Bluetooth low energy is suitable to be used transcutaneously. Transtympanic optical data transfer is an effective and promising technology. Hidden use cochlear implants aim to have the aesthetics of a...

To evaluate whether cochlear implantation can mitigate tinnitus perception and its discomfort among patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss, in order to provide an answer on a possible treatment...
Tinnitus can develop after peripheral hearing loss and is associated with altered auditory processing. It does not only involve auditory structures but also aberrant neural activity and interaction wi...
Recent studies investigated the changes in tinnitus perception among patients who underwent cochlear implantation and demonstrated a postoperative decrease. Hence, patients with severe-to-profound sen...
