The cochlear implant is now available widely as a treatment alternative for carefully selected patients with profound sensorineural deafness for whom other treatments or prostheses have been unsuccessful. This paper discusses the surgical techniques for implantation of the House 3M cochlear implant. There have been no serious surgical complications and only a few postoperative problems that were remedied satisfactorily. The surgical procedure allows replacement of a failed device or upgrading of the device as improvements become available in the future.

AbstractFunctional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging technique for the assessment of functional activity of the cerebral cortex. Recently fNIRS was also envisaged as a novel neuroimaging approach for measuring the auditory cortex (AC) activity in cochlear implant (CI) users. In the present study we report on initial measurements of AC activation due to spatial sound presentation with a first target to generate data for comparison with CI user and the future use in auditory diagnostics.

Crystal Device Integrity Testing System (CITS), the first commercially available testing system of its type, allows rapid assessment of cochlear implant function by measuring averaged electrode voltages—the scalp-recorded fields generated by electrode currents. We describe our experience performing routine integrity tests on 44 pediatric cochlear implant patients using the CITS. We present our findings focusing on the monopolar and common ground scans to provide a framework from which CITS scans can be evaluated in the future. We also describe selected cases in which abnormal results using the CITS influenced clinical treatment, demonstrating the utility of performing routine integrity tests.
