27 Jun 2014TL;DR: In this article, a bridge device is used to bridge between standard wireless charging protocols and proprietary wireless charging protocol utilized in auditory prostheses, such devices are portable and can enable a recipient to charge her device whenever wireless power is available.
Abstract: Devices and methods are used to bridge between standard wireless charging protocols and proprietary wireless charging protocols utilized in auditory prostheses. Such devices are portable and can enable a recipient to charge her device whenever wireless power is available. Additionally, the recipient can change settings on her prosthesis, via the bridge device, while her prosthesis is charging.

TL;DR: Comparing the current metrics used in adult cochlear implant candidacy evaluations for consistency and applicability, and making a recommendation for an updated assessment battery, Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant words are an effective tool to clinically evaluate hearing ability over time.
Abstract: Objective To compare the current metrics used in adult cochlear implant candidacy evaluations for consistency and applicability, and to make a recommendation for an updated assessment battery. Study design Prospective, multicenter, within-subject clinical trial. Setting North American cochlear implant programs including private practices, universities, and hospital centers. Patients One hundred adult hearing aid users scoring 40% or less on monosyllabic words in quiet in the aided test ear who presented for cochlear implantation evaluation. Intervention Subjects underwent unilateral cochlear implantation. Main outcome measures Speech perception measured via Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant words in quiet and AzBio sentences in noise. Patient-reported hearing disability measured via the Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale administered preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively. Results Significant group mean improvement on all speech perception measures and SSQ subscales postoperatively with possible floor effects observed in objective background noise testing preoperatively and a broad range of variability seen postoperatively. Conclusions Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant words are an effective tool to clinically evaluate hearing ability over time. Adjustment of cochlear implant screening protocols to prioritize monosyllabic words over sentences in noise as the chief determining factor appears justified, and this test can be supplemented by the SSQ for a holistic and applicable assessment of cochlear implant candidacy.

28 Apr 2010TL;DR: In this article, current leakage detection techniques in an implantable medical device are disclosed, where a core surrounds conductors carrying current to and from an implanted medical device, and a secondary winding on the core picks up imbalances between the current flows on the conductors traveling through the core.
Abstract: Current leakage detection techniques in an implantable medical device are disclosed. In these techniques, a core surrounds conductors carrying current to and from an implanted medical device. A secondary winding on the core picks up imbalances between the current flows on the conductors traveling through the core. An imbalance is detected if the current on the secondary winding results in a specified threshold being exceeded. Corrective action may then be taken if a current imbalance is detected.

TL;DR: The ESPrit 3G for Nucleus 22 users has the potential to further improve speech understanding in quiet conditions at soft intensity levels and also in noisy conditions at conversational levels relative to the currently worn speech processor, the Spectra 22 or the ESPrit 22.
Abstract: Kochleaimplantat- (CI-)Empfanger berichten oft uber Schwierigkeiten bei der Sprachverstandlichkeit im Storgerausch sowie bei leiser Sprache. Das Ziel dieser klinischen Studie war es, die Vorteile des HdO-ESPrit™ 3G fur erfahrene Nucleus®-Mini-22-CI-Trager zu untersuchen und zu vergleichen. 28 deutschsprachige CI-Trager mit mindestens 6 Monaten Erfahrung mit dem Spectra22 oder ESPrit™ 22 wurden mit ihrem bisherigen Sprachprozessor und dem ESPrit™ 3G (mit Mikrophon- und Flustereinstellung) getestet. Mit dem Freiburger Einsilbertest (FMW) bei leisen und normalen Sprachpegeln und dem Oldenburger Satztest (OLSA) im Storgerausch wurde die Leistung vergleichend gepruft. Subjektive Einschatzungen zu Klangqualitat und Benutzeraspekten wurden erhoben und mit den Ergebnissen von 31 englischsprachigen Patienten aus einer Parallelstudie zusammengefuhrt. Im Vergleich zum bisher getragenen Prozessor erreichten 15 CI-Trager mit der Flustereinstellung bei leisem und normalem Sprachpegel im FMW in Ruhe sowie 21 CI-Trager im OLSA im Storgerausch mit der Mikrophoneinstellung ein statistisch besseres Ergebnis (p<0,001). 86% (51/59) der CI-Trager bevorzugten den ESPrit™ 3G. Der ESPrit™ 3G fur Nucleus 22 kann fur die Mehrheit der CI-Trager die Sprachverstandlichkeit in ruhiger Umgebung bei leisen und normalen Sprachpegeln sowie im Storgerausch gegenuber dem derzeit getragenen Sprachprozessor— dem Spectra 22 oder ESPrit™ 22 — verbessern. Die Verbesserung der Klangqualitat, die vereinfachte Bedienung und der Tragekomfort werden von der Mehrheit der CI-Trager subjektiv wahrgenommen.

TL;DR: The small sample size in this study is sufficient to confirm that clinical history alone does not reliably predict which young children with perinatal-onset ANSD will require CI, and timing for CI remains delayed in these children, potentially affecting speech and language outcome.
