“Low Frequencies Are Underappreciated” — Restoring the Missing Half of CI Hearing
Renowned ENT surgeon Prof. Paul Van de Heyning argues that low frequencies, long electrodes, and anatomy-based fitting can reshape cochlear implant care. Find the key messages of his lecture at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in this article—and watch the embedded recording of his presentation for full information.
How Cochlear Implant Recipients Benefit From Intelligent Parallel Stimulation
Since 2006, each channel or pair of electrodes in MED-EL’s cochlear implants has had its own current source. These 12 channels with independent current sources allow each electrode pair to stimulate the cochlea with more flexibility. For instance, several different electrode pairs can stimulate different places in the cochlea at precisely the same time, which is often referred to as simultaneous or parallel stimulation.
