| ABSTRACT |
|
In recent Clarion systems, the HiResolution Bionic Ear and CII Bionic Ear devices have the unique ability to steer current through
simultaneous stimulation of adjacent electrode contacts. The study results to date showed that most subjects perceived additional
spectral channels when current is steered between electrode contacts. Notably, these data suggested that cochlear-implant users could
perceive significantly more spectral information than can be delivered using existing fixed channel technology. The next phase of the
study would be to examine the relationship among the number of additional spectral channels, demographics, and implant benefit in
these subjects. In summary, current steering allowed place-pitch stimulation that could be tailored to the residual hearing capability
of each bionic ear recipient. The increased spectral resolution provided by current steering may lead to better speech perception in
noise and improved music appreciation. |
