The primary objective of this study is to determine the hearing preservation advantage, defined as the increased chance of preservation of residual hearing (i.e., low frequency pure tone average ≤ 80 dB HL), of ECochG-guided CI electrode insertions in EAS candidates.

The purpose of this study is to determine if artificial intelligence- based noise reduction can offer objective improvement in hearing and speech perception for hearing impaired patients.

The purpose of this study is to analyze immittance patterns, both acoustically and electrically, for patients with either cochlear implantation or auditory brainstem implantation.

The purpose of this study is show the effectiveness of a dexamethasone eluting electrode in an adult population with post-lingual, bilateral, moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss in the reduction of fibrosis (as measured by impedance) when compared to a conventional, non-dexamethasone eluting electrode and in the improvement of speech recognition from preoperative baseline.

To determine if changes in cochlear implant electrode impedances change as a function current level and charge that is used to measure electrode impedances.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of fluctuating electrode impedances on speech perception in cochlear implants.

The purpose of this study is to perform electrophysiological (inner ear) measurements to assess hearing function in cochlear implant patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine changes in cochlear implant electrode impedances as a function over a period of time.

The purpose of this study is to determine if scores with a female voice stimulus are comparable to the current male voice stimuli.

The purpose of this study is to determine if electrocochleography (ECochG) measurements performed during cochlear implant surgery can be used to monitor cochlear structures and minimize electrode insertion trauma.

Hypothesis: Cochlear implant and Auditory Brainstem Implant outcomes continue to improve secondary to improved device design, surgical approach, and advanced programming.

The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in the middle ear mechanics or the transfer function in cochlear implant recipients and compare those changes with the middle ear transfer function measured in individuals with unilateral otosclerosis.
