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, individuals with cognitive impairment, 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
- Theoretical concepts that may influence cochlear implant programming
