2003 DEC 10 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Forward masking in different cochlear implant systems evaluated.
"The goal of this study was to evaluate, from a psychophysical standpoint, the neural spread of excitation produced by the stimulation of different types of intracochlear electrode arrays: the Ineraid, the Clarion S-Series on its own or with the Electrode Positioning System (EPS), and the Clarion HiFocus-I with the EPS," scientists in Switzerland report.
"The EPS is an independent silicone part designed to bring the electrode array close to the modiolus. Forward masking was evaluated in 12 adult subjects (three Ineraid, four Clarion S-Series, three ...
