Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated second edition of Cochlear Implant Patient Assessment, Evaluation of Candidacy, Performance, and Outcomes, Second Edition is an instrumental reference for clinicians working with cochlear implant recipients and graduate students in the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology. The content of the text is logically organized, and begins with necessary background information for cochlear implant candidacy and the selection process. Later chapters provide information on assessment of implant candidacy, postoperative assessment of performance over the long term, and possibilities for future research and understanding. Though Cochlear Implant Patient Assessment, Second Edition contains useful information for even the most seasoned clinicians, it will serve an especially important role in the education and training of students and clinicians being introduced to cochlear implant clinical practice. Having an experienced audiologist and speech-language pathologist authoring this work unites the inter-disciplinary nature of this practice. New to the Second Edition: * Up-to-date research guiding candidacy and outcomes assessment—particularly relevant for cases of hearing preservation, determining bilateral CI candidacy, bimodal hearing, and assessment of the nontraditional cochlear implant candidate * Assessment of candidacy and postoperative outcomes for individuals with unilateral deafness * Assessment of non-English-speaking patients * Role of imaging in device selection and postoperative assessment Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content (such as documents, audio, and video, etc.) may not be included as published in the original print version of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all cochlear implant cases present in a traditional manner, which calls for audiologists to seek a second opinion in more intricate and difficult cases. Complex Cochlear Implant Cases: Management and Troubleshooting offers both new and experienced cochlear implant audiologists the opportunity to tap into the knowledge and experience of skilled colleagues who have handled unique and challenging clinical situations with current or potential implant recipients. The book includes pediatric and adult complex cases pertaining to issues in mapping because of various medical conditions, equipment issues, improper device programming, lack of objective methods, and more. Each case starts with a clinical presentation, audiological testing, device programming, and suggested reading with research-backed references. The addition of questions for the reader offers time for the clinician to work through the case in their mind before providing answers, insights, summary, and key points. In addition to cases, the book also includes information on common methods for troubleshooting, objective measures, and instruction, as well as supplemental information regarding programming electrical-acoustic stimulation (EAS) cochlear implants. Key Features: * Includes pediatric and adult complex cases * Cases are descriptive and offer highly illustrative insights * Cases written by experienced cochlear implant audiologists working in high-volume cochlear implant centers in hospital and university settings * 125+ figures including audiograms, mapping, and objective measures provide a visual representation to each case, helping the reader rationalize recommendations from leaders in the field "In this book you'll be exposed to a variety of complex cases that will help you improve your clinical skills. You'll learn about practices that clinicians use to alleviate problems and improve outcomes. Some of these practices are standard while many are unique steps you may never have considered." –Terry Zwolan, PhD, CCC-A, Clinical Professor Emerita, Department of Otolaryngoloay, Head & Neck Surgery, Michigan Medicine, Universtiy of Michigan, Ann Arbor

This book was released on 2018 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cochlear implants (CI) are surgically implanted devices that provide sound input to individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss. While relatively successful, speech understanding abilities are highly variable among implant listeners in both quiet and noisy environments. One source of this variability is the electrode-neuron interface, which refers to how well each electrode activates target auditory neurons. Poor electrode-neuron interfaces may increase channel interaction, which can distort spectral information and result in decreased speech understanding. Electrode position, bone and tissue growth, and the integrity of the auditory neurons are important factors that affect the electrode-neuron interface. Currently, it is not possible to directly measure neural integrity in CI listeners; therefore, obtaining information about electrode position is an alternative approach to assessing the electrode-neuron interface. Information about electrode position is available through computerized tomography (CT) imaging. However, CT imaging is not readily available to audiologists, thus limiting its usefulness in a clinical setting. The purpose of this dissertation work was to examine the relationship between CT-estimated electrode position and two measures of channel interaction: an objective measure, the electrically evoked compound action potential (Experiment 1) and a behavioral measure, the psychophysical tuning curve (Experiment 2). In Experiment 3, we created novel listener strategies based on channels with poor electrode position and excessive channel interaction (based on measures from Experiment 2) in an effort to improve spectral resolution and speech understanding. Results from Experiment 1 and 2 demonstrated that the electrically evoked compound action potential and psychophysical tuning curves, two measures of channel interaction, are correlated with CT-estimates of electrode position. In other words, those electrodes farther from the inner wall of the cochlea tended to exhibit excessive channel interaction with these measures. Results from Experiment 3 suggest that CI listeners can gain improved speech understanding when manipulating channels to compensate for poor electrode position or excessive channel interaction. Importantly, manipulating the "wrong" channels can lead to a detriment in performance. This dissertation work lays the groundwork for assessment of an important aspect of the electrode-neuron interface and the practical application of these measures to CI listener strategies.

Download or read book Hearing Loss written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.
