Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisCochlear implants offer significant benefits for children and adults with severe to profound hearing loss; however, to realize these benefits the device must be carefully and correctly programmed. With current information on cochlear implant technology, Programming Cochlear Implants, Second Edition-a volume in the Core Clinical Concepts in Audiology Series-is a valuable guide for clinicians providing services to cochlear implant users or as a teaching tool for graduate-level students.. Programming Cochlear Implants, Second Edition introduces the basics of cochlear implant hardware and programming and continues through advanced programming techniques, with manufacturer-specific information and case studies. The text reviews clinical protocols for cochlear implant management; programming considerations for bilateral cochlear implant; troubleshooting during the programming process; device- specific programming techniques; use of objective measures to set cochlear implant programs; use of FM and assistive listening devices with cochlear implants; and providing support to difficult-to-program users, such as infants, cognitively-impaired individuals, persons with disabilities, and so forth.. New topics addressed in the second edition include: preservation of residual hearing following cochlear implant surgery; programming cochlear implants for patients with substantial residual hearing in the low-frequency range, including electrode array options; cochlear implant impedances and the impact of impedance on programming and management; signal coding strategies and signal processing; and theoretical concepts that may influence cochlear implant programming.
