Comparison of speech processor MAP minimum (T) and maximum (C) levels with psychophysical thresholds and maximum acceptable loudness levels in users of the Nucleus 22 cochlear implant system

This paper discusses the Nucleus 22 cochlear implant.

Narration for instructional video: operation and maintenance of the Nucleus 22 Channel Cochlear Implant

This paper presents the narration for an educational video on cochlear implants and the implantation process aimed at parents and teachers of hearing-impaired children.

Observations on the effects of a single-channel cochlear implant on a seven year old

This paper presents observations on the effects of a single-channel cochlear implant on a seven year-old hearing impaired child.

Parental observations of children's responses to three sensory aids: cochlear implant, tactile aid, hearing aid

This study discusses a project undertaken to determine the benefits of sensory aids for hearing impaired children based on parental observations over a twelve month period.

The effect of pre-implant puretone thresholds on post-implant speech perception ability in children

This paper studies the effect of residual hearing on post-implant speech perception in children with cochlear implants. The effect of pre-implant auditory experience and the effect of neuronal survival in the implanted ear were investigated.

Open-set speech perception of school-age cochlear implant users

This study examines specific auditory features perceived by profoundly hearing-impaired children using conventional binaural hearing aids and the Nucleus 22 Channel Cochlear Implant. The primary interest of this study was to learn which speech features were most easily perceived by users of each device.

Phoneme analysis of cochlear implant recipients' responses to CNC words using the MPEAK and SPEAK speech coding strategies of the Nucleus cochlear implant system

This paper discusses a study done to determine how cochlear implant users perceive speech sounds using MPEAK or SPEAK speech coding strategy.

Average annual reading growth rate progress of children who are deaf, use a cochlear implant and attend an auditory-oral school

Reading growth rate averages were established for children who are deaf, have a unilateral cochlear implant and attend an auditory-oral school.

Evaluation of sentence list equivalency for the TIMIT sentences by cochlear implant recipients

The equivalency of 34 TIMIT sentence lists was evaluated using adult cochlear implant recipients to determine if they should be recommended for future clinical or research use. Because these sentences incorporate gender, dialect and speaking rate variations, they have the potential to better represent speech recognition abilities in real-world communication situations.

Do child cochlear implant users who are perceived unfavorably as communication partners have poor self-esteem?

This paper examines self-esteem issues with children who wear a cochlear implant.

Performance of postlinguistically deaf cochlear implant patients on the connected speech test (version 3)

This paper discusses a study on postlingual cochlear implantees and the effectiveness of the CST in evaluating enhancement of speech recognition abilities.

Comparison of NRT based MAPs and preferred MAPs in adult Nucleus CI24 cochlear implant users

Comparison of subjects' preferred MAPs worn in everyday life and MAPs created using electrically evoked compound action potentials using neural response telemetry measures in adult Nucleus CI24 implant users.

Comparing cochlear implant users' and their partners' subjective assessment of verbal strategy use with objective assessment: does this change following psychosocial therapy?

This paper investigates the effectiveness of a group-based psychosocial rehabilitation program for cochlear implant patients and their frequent communication partners.

Comparing cochlear implant users' objective assessment with a subjective assessment of conversational interactions with unfamiliar speakers

This paper compares the objective and subjective assessments of cochlear implant users’ conversational interactions with unfamiliar speakers.

Identification of factors predicting spoken language development in young children with a cochlear implant

This paper examines the factors that are significant predictors of spoken language acquisition in children with cochlear implants. Factors identified include age of cochlear implantation, age of diagnosis, age started hearing aid use, parent educational level, and family income.
