Addresses the basic components and operation of a cochlear implant; basic terminology, hardware and principles for programming; programming advanced bionics implants, cochlear devices and MED-EL cochlear implants; patient complications; hearing assistance technology and cochlear implants; and programming using electric-acoustic stimulation.
This book is targeted at audiology students who would like to learn how to program cochlear implants. It presents the general principles, then moves on to some brand-specific information. Your audiologist is highly skilled at programming your implants with just a bit of information from you about how you are hearing in different situations. But if you would like to learn more about what the different terms mean, and possibly come up with some ideas for adjustments that you may like to try, this book is for you.
