TL;DR: A case is presented of superficial siderosis in a young woman who has benefitted significantly from cochlear implantation using the Nucleus device.
Abstract: Superficial siderosis is a rare central nervous system disorder characterized by deafness, ataxia, and pyramidal signs. The hearing loss is believed to be predominantly neural and is usually progressive and bilateral. Careful assessment is therefore necessary to determine the best approach to hearing rehabilitation. A case is presented of superficial siderosis in a young woman who has benefitted significantly from cochlear implantation using the Nucleus device.

28 Oct 2004TL;DR: An implantable hearing aid transducer interface disposable between an implantable transducers and a mounting apparatus and having at least a portion that is displaceable in response to a predeterminable range of transducers movement is described in this paper.
Abstract: An implantable hearing aid transducer interface disposable between an implantable transducer and a mounting apparatus and having at least a portion that is displaceable in response to a predeterminable range of transducer movement. According to one aspect of the invention, the predeterminable range of transducer movement includes movement in response to a physiological movement of an auditory component that results in pressure on the implantable transducer. In this case, the compliant interface permits adaptive movement of the implantable transducer in response to the pressure to maintain a desired interface between the implantable transducer and an auditory component. According to another aspect, the predeterminable range of transducer movement may be transducer vibration resulting from an acoustic stimulation of an auditory component by the implantable transducer. In this case, the compliant interface reduces the transmission of transducer vibration over a feedback path to a microphone of a hearing aid.

TL;DR: In this article, a multichannel signal processor (10) for and an auditory prosthesis (68) utilizing such a signal processor having a plurality of filters (88) each passing a different center frequency providing a set of filtered signals representative of the auditory content of the electrical input signal relative to its respective center frequency.
Abstract: A multichannel signal processor (10) for and an auditory prostheses (68) utilizing such a signal processor having a plurality of filters (88) each passing a different center frequency providing a set of filtered signals representative of the auditory content of the electrical input signal relative to its respective center frequency. A plurality of gating mechanisms (90) individually coupled to the filter signals pass an output signal at a level above the perceptual level of the person when the filtered signal is above a predetermined level. The predetermined level is individually determined such that the output is past above the perceptual level only when the level of the filtered signal to which the gating means is coupled is likely to be among the larges of the filtered signals of all of the plurality of filters (88). Thus the multichannel signal processor (10) in auditory prosthesis (68) can have a combined stimulated signal which contains some, but not all, channels, namely those channels whose amplitude of signal is likely to rank among the highest compared to the amplitude of the remaining channels. In a preferred embodiment, such a channel dominant signal processor (10) will help preserve periodicities created by sharply tuned band pass filters (88).

TL;DR: Clinicians and professionals working with children with hearing loss need to understand components contributing to self-esteem to improve identification, counseling, and external referrals for children in this population.
Abstract: Children with hearing loss are at risk for lower self-esteem due to differences from hearing peers relative to communication skills, physical appearance, and social maturity. This study examines the influence of generic factors unrelated to hearing loss (e.g., age, gender, temperament) and specific factors associated with hearing loss (e.g., age at identification, communication skills) on how children with hearing loss wearing cochlear implants or hearing aids appraise self-esteem. Fifty children with hearing loss wearing cochlear implants or hearing aids participated (Mean age: 12.88 years; mean duration of device use: 3.43 years). Participants independently completed online questionnaires to assess communication skills, social engagement, self-esteem, and temperament. Children with hearing loss rated global self-esteem significantly more positively than hearing peers, t = 2.38, p = .02. Self-esteem ratings attained significant positive correlations with affiliation (r = .42, p = .002) and attention (r =...

TL;DR: A model to simulate heating as a result of pulse repetitions during infrared neural stimulation (INS), with both single- and multiple-emitters is presented, which predicts that using a stimulation rate of 250 Hz with typical laser parameters at a single stimulation site results in a temperature increase of 2.3°C.
Abstract: A model to simulate heating as a result of pulse repetitions during infrared neural stimulation (INS), with both single- and multiple-emitters is presented. This model allows the temperature increases from pulse trains rather than single pulses to be considered. The model predicts that using a stimulation rate of 250 Hz with typical laser parameters at a single stimulation site results in a temperature increase of 2.3°C. When multiple stimulation sites are used in analogy to cochlear implants, the temperature increases further depending upon the spacing between emitters. However, when the light is more localized at multiple stimulation sites the temperature increase is reduced.
