Middle ear implantable hearing devices: an overview.

30 Aug 2009 Hearing loss affects approximately 30 million people in the United States. It has been estimated that only approximately 20% of people with hearing loss significant enough to warrant amplification actually seek assistance for amplification. A ... Read more...

Case report of a child with otoacoustic emissions and profound hearing loss in whom otoacoustic emissions were preserved after cochlear implantation.

30 Aug 2009 The management of patients characterised by the presence of otoacoustic emissions and/or cochlear microphonics suggesting normal outer hair cell function in conjunction with absent or grossly abnormal auditory brainstem responses is often associated ... Read more...

The effects of bilateral electric and bimodal electric--acoustic stimulation on language development.

24 Aug 2009 There is no doubt that cochlear implants have improved the spoken language abilities of children with hearing loss, but delays persist. Consequently, it is imperative that new treatment options be explored. This study evaluated one aspect of ... Read more...
