Importance: Cochlear implants are an effective technique for enhancing speech perception abilities in quiet environments for people with severe to profound deafness. Nevertheless, complex sound signals perception, such as music perception, remains challenging for cochlear implant users.

Objective: To assess the benefit of a tonotopic map on music perception in new cochlear implant users.

Introduction: The respective effects of direct and indirect decompression in the clinical outcome after anterior cervical disc fusion (ACDF) is still debated. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of indirect decompression on foraminal volumes during ACDF performed in patients suffering from cervico-brachial neuralgias due to degenerative foraminal stenosis, i.e.

Article Synopsis
  • Cochlear implants (CIs) help individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss recognize speech, but understanding speech in noisy environments is still difficult; this study investigates whether using a tonotopic map for CI fitting can enhance speech perception in both quiet and noisy settings.
  • The research was conducted among 26 new CI users in a double-blind, randomized, cross-over design over 6 months, where participants were assigned different fitting methods and subsequently evaluated on their speech recognition abilities.
  • Results indicated that participants fitted with the tonotopic map performed significantly better in recognizing speech in noise across various signal-to-noise ratios, highlighting the potential benefits of this fitting method for improving auditory experiences in challenging listening environments.

Purpose: This study was designed to identify risk factors for post-operative complications in micro-anastomosed osteomyocutaneous free flaps (MOFF) and analyzed their consequences in long term.

Methods: A retrospective review of 100 MOFF realized between May 2007 and October 2019 was performed. Demographic data, perioperative management and postoperative complications were enrolled and analyzed in a multivariate model.
