Objectives: To assess the subjective benefit of EAS over the first 12 months after EAS fitting using the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB).
Method: Twenty-three EAS users, implanted with either the PULSAR(CI)(100) FLEX(EAS) provided with the DUET EAS processor or the COMBI40+ Medium provided with the TEMPO+ speech processor, were included.
Conclusion: A high rate of hearing preservation during cochlear implantation for electric acoustic stimulation (EAS) is possible, even when surgery is conducted by a number of different surgeons.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the degree of hearing preservation using surgery for EAS in a European multi-centre clinical investigation. It also aimed to demonstrate the effect of EAS in individuals with residual low frequency hearing, both on speech perception and on subjective quality of life measures.
Background/aims: Biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) are still common. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of ERCP as a diagnostic and treatment tool in the management of biliary tract OLT complications.
Methodology: The diagnostic and treatment effectiveness of ERCP in the management of biliary tract OLT complication from 1/1995 to 12/2001 was reviewed.
