Cochlear is committed to the development of solutions that help make hearing care more patient-centered, accessible and streamlined.  Cochlear’s Connected Care technologies is transforming how people connect across different care settings: from the operating room, to the clinic and into a patient’s everyday life.  These technologies make it easy for professionals to stay connected to their patients and provide the best care for when and where they need it most.For more information, visit: https://www.cochlear.com/us/en/professionals/connected-care 

In March 2020 the FDA approved the first expansion of pediatric indications in 20 years. Dr. Jace Wolfe, Director of Audiology and Research at the Hearts for Hearing Foundation in Oklahoma City, analyzes the benefits of early implantation and its impact on brain development. Wolfe highlights Jaime Leigh’s study that suggests the need to mitigate delay in implantation. For example, if a young child is implanted, that child can parallel one year of language progress in one calendar year without falling behind their peers. On the other hand, if a child with severe to profound hearing loss waits to be implanted, he or she can only make three months of progress for every calendar year without a cochlear implant. So, implanting as early as possible can be key, especially as pediatric patients reach hearing and language milestones. Read more: http://pronews.cochlearamericas.com/t...

René Gifford, Ph.D., Professor, Vanderbilt University reviews and summarizes her CI2018 lecture “Beyond Deaf” which features a review of the modern cochlear implant candidate and reviews data Dr. Gifford and her team have collected on perimodiolar electrode array advantages and the Nucleus® CI532 implant. http://bit.ly/2BawUHnRené Gifford, Ph.D., is a professor of hearing and speech sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN. In her lecture at CI2018 in Washington DC, Dr. Gifford spoke about electrode options for cochlear implant patients and how they apply to today’s modern cochlear implant candidates. As a world-renowned scientist, Dr. Gifford covers the importance of challenging the status quo through following current research and a complete list of the peer-reviewed publications she references appears at the end of the TECH Talk.Hear directly from Dr. Gifford about Vanderbilt University’s electrode preferences, the importance of perimodiolar placement in scala tympani and her lab’s current work on how number of channels can positively impact patient performance.

The Cochlear TECH Talk series features audiologists, surgeons and other experts in the fields of hearing and hearing loss. In each video, they highlight innovations and research related to the cochlear implant industry. To discover more of our Tech Talk series, click here: https://bit.ly/2Uo0eVsIn this TECH Talk, Dr. David Friedmann, a neurotologist at NYU Langone Health, discusses several aspects of the Slim Modiolar Electrode. Dr. Friedmann and his team started using the Slim Modiolar as their standard electrode in 2016. In his mind, the Slim Modiolar incorporates the best of what cochlear implant technology has to offer. One reason is because the electrode’s external sheath design optimizes placement, which can impact overall performance. This sheath-based insertion replaces the AOS insertion technique with a stylet. Although this new insertion process may present a learning curve, he believes the improved patient outcomes of the Slim Modiolar electrode make it worthwhile.Dr. Friedmann also points out that the Slim Modiolar is not necessarily appropriate for all patients. This includes patients with abnormal anatomy, congenital malformations and patients with revision cochlear implants. The reason this is the case is the slim nature of the implant.There is so much to know and learn about the Slim Modiolar, some of which is not covered in this video.

The Baha® SoundArc™ is a modern and discreet over-the-ear non-surgical solutions for children and adults struggling with conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss or Single-sided deafness (SSD). The SoundArc allows for high quality demonstrations, evaluations and trials with any of the Baha 5 sound processors and unlike other hearing implants, your patients can experience the benefits of bone conduction before they move forward with a bone conduction solution, such as Baha or Osia®. This video shows clinicians the tools to correctly fit a SoundArc on their patients to maximize hearing performance.
