TL;DR: The cochlear size measure distance A was repeatable to within the resolution of the high-resolution computed tomography image data, indicating that the basal turn of the normally formed cochlea is variable in size.

TL;DR: It is shown that CI users present higher visuoauditory performance when compared with normally hearing subjects with similar auditory stimuli, and this better performance is not only due to greater speechreading performance, but, most importantly, also due to a greater capacity to integrate visual input with the distorted speech signal.

TL;DR: Hearing may be conserved in adults after implantation with the Nucleus Contour Advance perimodiolar electrode array and the benefits of combined electrical and acoustic stimulation are presented.

TL;DR: Hearing was conserved for conventional candidates for cochlear implantation where the recommended soft-surgery protocol was strictly adhered and combined ipsilateral electrical and acoustic stimulation provided considerable benefits for speech recognition in noise, equivalent to between 3 and 5 dB SNR, compared with CI alone.

TL;DR: Trends in the patterns of correlation between speech and music perception suggest that music patterns are differentially accessible to cochlear implant recipients and new processing strategies may improve this.
