Loudness Balancing Optimization for Better Speech Intelligibility, Music Perception, and Spectral Temporal Resolution in Cochlear Implant Users.

Koç University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, İstanbul, Türkiye.
Hypothesis: The behaviorally based programming with loudness balancing (LB) would result in better speech understanding, spectral-temporal resolution, and music perception scores, and there would be a relationship between these scores.
Background: Loudness imbalances at upper stimulation levels may cause sounds to be perceived as irregular, gravelly, or overly echoed and may negatively affect the listening performance of the cochlear implant (CI) user. LB should be performed after fitting to overcome these problems.
Material characterization of human middle ear using machine-learning-based surrogate models.

This study aims to introduce a novel non-invasive method for rapid material characterization of middle-ear structures, taking into consideration the invaluable insights provided by the mechanical properties of ear tissues. Valuable insights into various ear pathologies can be gleaned from the mechanical properties of ear tissues, yet conventional techniques for assessing these properties often entail invasive procedures that preclude their use on living patients. In this study, in the first step, we developed machine-learning models of the middle ear to predict its responses with a significantly lower computational cost in comparison to finite-element models.

Introduction: Optimal cochlear implant (CI) outcomes are due to, at least in part, appropriate device programming. Objective measures, such as electrically evoked stapedial reflex thresholds (ESRTs), can be used to more accurately set programming levels. However, underlying factors that contribute to ESRT levels are not well understood.

Objective: To develop an evidence-based protocol for audiology-based, cochlear implant (CI) programming in the first year after activation.
Study Design: Retrospective case review.
Setting: CI program at a tertiary medical center.
The effect of cochlear implant age and duration of intervention on ESRT in children with cochlear implant.

July 2023
Masters in Audiology & Speech Language Pathology, AYJNISHD(D), RC, Kolkata, India.
Objective: To study the effect of cochlear implant age and duration of the intervention (auditory rehabilitation post-cochlear implantation) on ESRT in children with cochlear implants.
Methods: A total of 90 pre-lingual cochlear implant users were included. For the measurement of ESRTs the recipient's processor was connected to the programming pod and electrode numbers 22, 11 and 3 (apical, middle and basal), respectively, were activated to give stimulation sequentially and elicit deflection as a response.
