TL;DR: The MRP signals recorded with the tri-polar concentric ring electrode system have significantly higher SNR than from bipolar concentricring ring electrode and conventional disc electrode emulations and the Tri-Polar electrodes have shown significantly higher spatial selectivity as well as significantly less mutual information between locations than the other two electrode configurations tested.

TL;DR: ECoG thresholds may provide a useful metric for the assessment of residual hearing in cochlear implant subjects for whom it is not possible to perform behavioral audiometric testing.

TL;DR: The development of the spectral notch cues to source location, the spatial- and frequency-dependent distributions of DTF amplitude gain, maximum gain, and the acoustic axis, andThe resonance frequency and associated gain of the ear canal and concha were systematically related to the dimensions of the head and pinnae.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the lateral superior olive plays a role in the extraction of ILD, and that the representation of I LD by LSO neurons may set a lower bound on the behavioral sensitivity to ILDs, is supported.

TL;DR: The AMEI was able to successfully drive the RW membrane in cadaveric temporal bones using a classical facial recess approach and stimulation of theRW membrane with an active middle ear implant without drilling the niche is sufficient for successful hearing outputs.
