Auditory deprivation and single-sided deafness

I have been fortunate in my career to travel as an invited lecturer at many hospitals, universities and professional societies around the world. I have spoken to audiology societies, otolaryngology societies, and university communication disorders programmes in Europe, Asia, Africa,...The sound of music for adult cochlear implant recipients

Professor Sir Donald Harrison (DFNH) had a strong interest in comparative anatomy of the larynx, which was supported by a close relationship with the London Zoo who provided specimens from any mammals in the collection that died and had undergone...
Hearing preservation in CI, any predictors?
The electrically evoked compound action potential (eCAP), obtained non-invasively from cochlear implant (CI) recipients, represents a population response of the auditory nerve to electrical stimulation. The eCAP characteristics include threshold (the lower the better), growth of response (the steeper the...
Validating a new international cholesteatoma classification – a necessary but challenging task
