Examples from several areas of cochlear implant research are presented, with emphasis on the continuous interleaved sampling (CIS) approach to speech processor design. Within-subject comparisons of such processors with the compressed analog (CA) approach of the clinical Ineraid device are reviewed, and ongoing similar comparisons with the clinical Nucleus spectral peak (SPEAK) strategy are outlined. Correlations between chronic performance levels with clinical CA processors and initial performance levels with CIS, data on further improvements in performance with chronic use of CIS, and instances of substantial benefit from custom fitting of CIS parameters are presented as examples of findings with immediate clinical implications. New studies are described, involving the measurement of intracochlear evoked potentials in response to cochlear implant stimulation, and the integration of such work with computer modeling studies.

D008297 Male Males
D003054 Cochlear Implants Electronic hearing devices typically used for patients with normal outer and middle ear function, but defective inner ear function. In the COCHLEA, the hair cells (HAIR CELLS, VESTIBULAR) may be absent or damaged but there are residual nerve fibers. The device electrically stimulates the COCHLEAR NERVE to create sound sensation.

D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.
