Frontiers. (2018, September 12). Older adults fitted with cochlear implants exhibit poor brain function. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2018 / 09 ...

Cochlear implantation was associated with improved speech perception and cognitive function in adults 65 years or older with profound hearing loss, according to a report. Hearing impairment is ...

“Cochlear function and cardiovascular disease were measured at one point in time and we don’t know which came first,” he says, and adds that further, longitudinal research is needed.

Cochlear implants transmit actual sound signals through electrodes. This converts sounds into electrical impulses, which are interpreted by the brain. It aims to replace the cochlea’s function.

Disabling hearing loss affects one in every ten people and up to 25% of people over 60, according to the World Health Organization, and can have both genetic and environmental causes such as ...

A cochlear implant is a neural prosthesis that replaces the function of the cochlea in the hearing pathway, explained Dr. Patel. The device uses an external microphone to pick up sounds in the ...

Research into ways of regenerating those cells is limited by the lack of suitable lab-based models of cochlear physiology and function. In a recent paper published in Stem Cell Reports, Renjie ...

Because of this difference, the adjustment period after cochlear implants can be steep. It requires significant effort by the person to use them to function and navigate the hearing world effectively.

DPOAE testing is a noninvasive, reliable method for assessing cochlear function and monitoring potential ototoxicity. The study involved 40 children, with 22 completing pre- and post-testing, and was ...
