   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cochlear implant; working memory; conversational skills; request for clarification; reading; hearinr impairment; writing;

   Abstract : A cochlear implant (CI) is a device that provides individuals with severe to profound hearing impairment (SPHI) with auditory stimulation, which makes it possible for them to develop skills related to spoken communication. We have little knowledge about how hearing with a CI influences cognitive and communicative development and there is a need for development of methods for assessment. READ MORE

4. 2. Experiences from Cochlear Implantation and Auditory Brainstem Implantation in Adults and Children : Electrophysiological Measurements, Hearing Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction

   Author : Karin Lundin; Helge Rask-Andersen; Fredrik Stillesjö; Claes Möller; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : cochlear implant; auditory brainstem implant; electrically evoked auditory brainstem responses; long deafness duration; neurofibromatosis type 2; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Cochlear implants (CIs) and auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) are prostheses for hearing used in patients with profound hearing impairment. A CI requires an operational cochlear nerve to function in contrast to an ABI. READ MORE

5. 3. Cochlear implantation : experimental and clinical studies

   Author : Henrik Smeds; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cochlear implantation makes hearing restoration possible in patients with severe to profound hearing loss. However, patients with residual hearing, where a cochlear implant may be combined with acoustic stimulation, and children with malformed cochleae, where the surgery itself as well as language training may be a challenge, are two important groups of patients that require special procedures.

6. 4. Lexical and semantic development in children with cochlear implants

   Author : Ulrika Löfkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : children with cochlear implants;

   Abstract : Introduction: Two important events have changed the prerequisites for children with severe-profound hearing impairment (HI). The first is the universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) that enables early detection and identification of congenital or early-acquired HI. READ MORE

7. 5. Regeneration of the auditory nerve : a cell transplantation study

   Author : Björn Palmgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Since in mammals, the hair cells or the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the inner ear do not regenerate, damage to these cells is an irreversible process. Presently the only aid for patients with severe to profound hearing impairment due to damaged hair cells is a cochlear implant (CI). READ MORE
