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...

Thirty-nine adult CI users meeting traditional bilateral hearing loss indications with ≥12 months CI experience....
Patients completed the validated Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Living and Decisional Regret instruments. Pre- and post-CI outcomes (CI Quality of Life [CIQOL]-Expectations; CIQOL-35 Profile...
Using established cutoff scores, 29% of patients reported a substantial degree of post-CI decisional regret. For each CIQOL domain, patients without decisional regret obtained post-CI outcome scores c...
Patients with better alignment of their pre-CI expectations and post-CI outcomes and greater pre-/post-CIQOL improvement had lower decisional regret and higher satisfaction. This emphasizes the import...
To study the effect of cochlear implant age and duration of the intervention (auditory rehabilitation post-cochlear implantation) on ESRT in children with cochlear implants....
A total of 90 pre-lingual cochlear implant users were included. For the measurement of ESRTs the recipient's processor was connected to the programming pod and electrode numbers 22, 11 and 3 (apical, ...
There were significant differences in the measured T, C and ESRT levels with respect to the duration of the intervention (auditory rehabilitation post-cochlear implantation) and cochlear implant age o...
The differences in the T, C and ESRT levels after continued device usage and after attending auditory rehabilitation sessions post-cochlear implantation are subjected to optimal benefit from implantat...
The differences in T, C and ESRT levels can be utilised clinically to study the importance of duration of cochlear implant device usage and the importance of auditory rehabilitation post-cochlear impl...

Consonant-nucleus-consonant monosyllabic word recognition scores in the CI-alone and bilateral best-aided conditions at five time points: preoperative evaluation, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after acti...
For both the CI-alone and bilateral best-aided conditions, consonant-nucleus-consonant word recognition significantly improved from preoperative evaluation to all postactivation time points. For the C...
Based on the current data set and associated analyses, CI centers programming adult patients could eliminate either the 3- or 6-month visit from their clinical follow-up schedule if patient mapping of...
For years, the development of a totally implantable cochlear implant (TICI) has faced several technical challenges hindering any prototypes from reaching full commercialization. This article aims to r...
The literature review highlights how research efforts to generate sufficient power to supply a fully implantable CI could take advantage of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based energy harvester...
Recent breakthroughs in power supply using MEMS-based energy harvesting technologies and piezoelectric implantable microphones may make TICIs become a more practical reality in the foreseeable future....
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...
