Patients with cochlear implants may want to steer clear of certain magnetic imaging devices, such as 3T MRI machines, because the machines can demagnetize the patient's implant, according to new research published in the December 2008 issue of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. view more (2008-12-01)
Hearing restoration may be possible with cochlear repair after transplant of human cord blood cells
According to an Italian research team publishing their findings in the current issue of Cell Transplantation (17:6), hearing loss due to cochlear damage may be repaired by transplantation of human umbilical cord hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) since they show that a small number migrated to the damaged cochlea and repaired sensory hair cells and... view more...

Brain's 'hearing center' may reorganize after implant of cochlear device
Cochlear implants-electronic devices inserted surgically in the ear to allow deaf people to hear-may restore normal auditory pathways in the brain even after many years of deafness. view more (2007-07-24)
Cochlear implants' performance not affected by amount of hearing loss in the implanted ear
Hearing-impaired individuals with severe to profound hearing loss and poor speech understanding who possess some residual hearing in one ear may experience significant communication benefit from a cochlear implant even if it is placed in the worse-hearing ear. view more (2005-09-02)
New ears for deaf children

Bilateral cochlear implants: A case when 2 are definitely superior to 1
A study of cochlear implant patients seen by Indiana University School of Medicine physicians is the first research to show evidence that cochlear implants in both ears significantly improves quality of life in patients with profound hearing loss and that the cost of the second implant is offset by its benefits. view more (2008-05-30)
Researchers Reveal Extent of Pain felt by Elderly people Parted from Pets on Entering Residential Care
University of Warwick psychology researchers Dr June McNicholas and Dr Glyn Collis have just published a paper on the role of pets in the lives of older people which finds that pets benefit them by companionship, increased levels of activity, and better person-to-person interactions by pets acting as social catalysts. They also found that pets... view more... (1999-11-22)

For First Time, Cochlear Implant Restores Hearing To Patient With Rare Genetic Disorder
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have, for the first time, used a "bionic" ear to restore hearing in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease. They say this advance offers new hope for individuals with the rare disorder, which can produce non-malignant tumors in ears, as well... view more... (2007-06-08)
Speech perception from cochlear implantation in young deaf children (p 466)
Young children with congenital and prelingual deafness can develop substantial speech-perception abilities up to 5 years after cochlear implantation, concludes a study published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Cochlear implants provide access to the speech signal in profoundly deaf children who derive no benefit from acoustic hearing... view more... (2000-08-02)
Some children are born with 'temporary deafness' and do not require cochlear implant
