59
Q

CHARGE association

60
Q

Most important determinant of CI outcome in adults

A

duration of deafness (ex: Postlingually deafened people are already “programmed” for understanding spoken language)

61
Q

Bimodal stimulation

A

an arrangement of wearing a haid in the ear opp to cochlear implant
(cochear implant stimulates aud nerve on one side and air-conduction aid provides input to opposite ear)

62
Q

bimodal stimulation benefits

A

improved localization & speech recognition performance

63
Q

bilateral cochlear implants

A

can be sequential or simultaneous

64
Q

hybrid cochlear implant

A

simultaneously provides acoustic input thru a haid for the lower frequencies and electrical stimulation of afferent auditory nerve fibers tuned to the higher frequencies via a cochlear implant to the same ear.
-suitable for people with steeply sloping SNL HL (still have low freq hearing preserved)

65
Q

Auditory brainstem implant

A

a hearing prosthesis for pts who have neurofibromatosis, auditory nerve damage from schwannoma removal, or who were born without auditory nerves

66
Q

schwannomas

term that describes how the hearing establishment is perceived as imposing their values onto Deaf culture by defining its members as a group of individuals who need treatment

68
Q

cochlear implant

A

implantable device designed to substitute for the function of the middle ear, cochlear mechanical motion, and sensory cells (hair cells in inner ear)

69
Q

Hx of CI

70
Q

monopolar & bipolar

72
Q

who performs best with CI

A

those with residual hearing

73
Q

Non simultaneous speech coding strategy

A

CIS-continuous interleaved sampling- uses the full spectrum of the incoming waveform
N of M
SPEAK

74
Q

n of m strategy

A

a specified # of electrodes out of the max # are stimulated (only takes the peaks of the signals–the peaks represent formants of the speech)

75
Q

SPEAK

A

Spectral Peak Extraction- analyzes the incoming sound to identify filters that have the greatest amt of energy

76
Q

Simultaneous speech coding strategy

A

SAS

77
Q

SAS

A

simultaneous analog stimulation

78
Q

simultaneous analog stimulation

A

the compressed analog waveform is sent simultaneousl to all elctrodes
-hitting all electrodes ate same time has a chance of channel to channel electrode interference

79
Q

T-level threshold for CI is not the same as hearing threshold level on audiogram

A

True

80
Q

RF level

A

the radio frequency power level required to maintain the proper communication b./w the internal & external components
-set during programming (mapping)

81
Q

Dual Color LED indicator on CI

A 
LED-light emitting diode
*located at top of processor
functions are: 
battery charge status
lock status,
microphone/ system status
(RED=problem)
82
Q

Ci uses battery as well as audible alarms to alert parents if device is not working

A

true

83
Q

Is Aural rehabilitation or Tx required for CI recipients?

A

Yes, it is KEY factor for success

-for children, it is crucial for development of language & speech skills

84
Q

Cochlea tonotopic organization

A

max sensitivity to low frequencies at the apex

max sensitivity to hi frequencies at the base

85
Q

stimulating electrodes at different regions along teh lenght of the cochlea produces percepts of different frequencies/pitches

A

true

86
Q

Channels

A

filter banks; can be made to correspond to a single electrode (1 to 1 mapping) BUT there is no 1 to 1 mapping between channels & electrodes b/c

1) closely spaced electrodes may not produce diff sound percept
2) # of available electrodes for stimulation depends on mode of stimuation used

87
Q

monopolar stimulation

A

1 active electrode & 1 return/ground electrode and current flows b/w the two electrodes
-WIDELY SPACED to stimulate a larger area of neurons

88
Q

bipolar stimulation mode

A

2 adjacent electrodes are paired, stimulation is tightly focused on small area of auditory nerve fibers
(2 electrodes only provide 1 channel b/w themselves)

89
Q

how many electrodes in electrode array

A

varies, can be 16-24

More is not necessarily better, depends on placement (and can cause more structural damage)

90
Q

advantage of monopolar mode

A

can achieve higher loudness levels with lower current (since there is a spread of current over a large # of neurons)

91
Q

advantage of bipolar mode

A

stimulation of electrodes in close proximity provides MORE SPATIALLY SELECTIVE STIMULATION

92
Q

CIs can deliver both bipolar and monopolar modes of stimulation

A

true

93
Q

Mode of stimulation is dependent on

A

Individual needs & responses

Stimulation strategy used (speech coding strategy- that is simultaneous or non-simultatneous)

94
Q

BP +1 mode

A

active and reference electrodes separated by one non-active electrode)
-will sound louder than just BP mode because larger neuronal population stimulated

95
Q

Frequency coding *

A

depends on rate of nerve firing (temporal theory) & place of stimulation along cochlea (tonotopic./place theory)

96
Q

Intensity coding *

A

achieved by manipulation of electrical current pulse width, pusle height, & quantity of auditory nerve fibers stimulated in cochlea

97
Q

Intensity effects of CI

A

Once auditory nerve fibers are disconnected from inner hair cells, they no longer have very different response thresholds.
The result of this is that the dynamic range of hearing is very limited in electric hearing.
A limited dynamic range results in poor intensity discrimination and a rapid growth of loudness.

98
Q

single channel CI

A

code frequency based on the rate of firing of electrical pulses (temporal theory)

99
Q

multichannel Ci

A

uses place theory strategy for coding frequency (different frequencies from the auditory signal are separated and presented in a tonotopic manner alongth length of cochlea via electrode array)

100
Q

Multichannel CI users experience better speech understanding scores in auditory alone condition vs single channel CI users

A

true

101
Q 
There is a direct relationship b/w 
Length of electrode array
# of electrodes in array
# of channels
and mode of stimulation
A

True

102
Q

2 purposes of having more electrode sites

A

provide better frequency resolution (tonotopic)

regions in teh cochlea that respond poorly to electrical stimulation can be avoided during programming

103
Q

Stimulating “fixed”sites of cochlea -problem

A

in some cases this fixed location maight not be responsive to electrical stimulation since density & uniformity of neurons in that area vary on etiology of deafness

104
Q

Simultaneous Analog Stimulation

A

generates digitally reconstructed analog waveforms & delivers it simultaneously along the electrode sites in the cochlea at high rates

105
Q

PPS

A

Paired Pulsatile Sampler

106
Q

Paired Pulsatile Sampler

A

an interleaved sampler speech coding strategy hich uses an envelope extraction paradigm called “bin averaging”and
stimulates 2 channels at a time (spaced a few electrodes apart)
Purpose: faster repetition rate can be achieved w/ minimal channel interaction

107
Q

PPS is

A

always used in monopolar coupling mode an drquires lesser current levels for stimulation

108
Q

higher stimulation rates vs stimming neurons with slow rate of pulses

A

avoids neural synchronicity that would not be normally prsent in auditory system;
improved consonant recognition performance

109
Q

(acquired necessary skills such as Candidates A, but just slower)
-ABLE TO ENTER MAINSTREAM EDU

*achieved awareness of sounds at 4 months, developed associaton of sounds w/ evens within 6-15 mo, devceloped single word use around 24 mo., developed understanding & emerging phrases around 3 yrs then plateued.
-THESE CANDIDATES BENEFIT BEST FROM ASL as primary mode of comm
