Single-visit screening for intracochlear tissue growth validated against multi-visit electrical measurement changes
Minh Q. Vu, Erin L. Bratu, Jared A. Rybarczyk +1
Purpose: Tissue growth (TG) around cochlear implant electrodes raises impedance but is not reliably visible on CT scans. Routinely recorded stimulus current-induced non-stimulating…
Improving Spectral Resolution via Simultaneous Extracochlear and Apical Ground Contacts: A Neural Simulation Study
Jared A. Rybarczyk, Erin L. Bratu, Robert F. Labadie +1
Objectives: While cochlear implants (CI) can provide excellent speech perception outcomes, speech recognition in noise remains a consistent problem for many patients due to channel…
Automated Optimization of Patient-Specific Electro-Anatomical Models Fitted to Cochlear Implant SCINSEV
Minh Q. Vu, Erin L. Bratu, Jack H. Noble
Purpose: Patient-specific electro-anatomical models (EAMs) of the implanted cochlea are crucial for auditory nerve fiber simulation in cochlear implant (CI) programming and neural…
Estimates of neural health using cochlear implant digital twins correlate with speech recognition
Erin L. Bratu, Andrea J. DeFreese, Katelyn A. Berg +4
The cochlear implant is a neural prosthetic that uses an array of electrodes to directly stimulate auditory nerve fibers with electrical impulses. One factor that is known to impac…
