Cochlear implants are currently the standard treatment for profound sensorineural hearing loss. In the last decade, advances in auditory science and technology have not only greatly expanded the utility of electric stimulation to other parts of the auditory nervous system in add…
Candidacy for implantable hearing devices
"Neural Prostheses for Restoration of Sensory and Motor Function examines several different types of neural prosthetic devices as well as recent advances in cutting edge research for novel devices to restore sensory and motor function in patients with neural damage. It provides …
This text provides information on neural prosthetic techniques and applications. Some of the most successful sensory and motor prosthetic devices available are detailed, and the field of brain-implantable devices are discussed.

Nine contributions written by specialists in neurobiology, anatomy, biomedical engineering, neurokinesiology, electrical engineering, and other fields provide detailed technical descriptions of neural prosthetic devices, outline the scientific and clinical applications of neural…
How deafness is perceived as a problem by society dictates what types of technologies are leveraged to address the problem, and, conversely, available technologies shape how deafness is perceived. In this dissertation, I draw on multiple methods to explore the meanings of deafne…
Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, unilateral koklear implant kullanıcılarının ve bimodal koklear implant kullanıcılarının dinleme eforlarını karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirerek; bimodal koklear implant kullanıcılarında, bimodal işitmeyle sağlanan binaural uyarımın avantajları ve bu k…
Objective. It is well established that being able to see someone’s mouth move as they speak boosts speech perception for children with cochlear implants (CIs). Thus, children with CIs are often instructed to orient themselves toward the person they are listening to, to gain acce…
This book reviews how we can record the human brains response to sounds, and how we can use these recordings to assess hearing. These recordings are used in many different clinical situations the identification of hearing impairment in newborn infants, the detection of tumors on…
