In a recent webinar, Cache Pitt, Clinical Professor of Audiology at Utah State University, and Barb Foster, Director of Education Training at MED-EL, discussed how incorporating Anatomy-Based Fitting and ESRT (Electrically Evoked Stapedial Reflex Threshold) into cochlear implant programming can significantly boost clinical efficiency.
A cochlear implant electrode serves as a crucial bridge between technology and nature that connects recipients to sound. The electrode array can significantly impact hearing outcomes. For instance, there is now growing consensus among researchers that stimulating more of the cochlea is associated with better speech perception and music appreciation. Here is the latest research you need to know to ensure each of your patients can benefit the most from their cochlear implant.
