Abstract: When a person loses hearing, cochlear implants make it possible to restore their ability to hear. Through surgical procedure, a system of electronic components is able to replace a damaged biological system. The most important part of the system is the electrical to biological connection made by the electrodes.. Or…….can deaf education keep up with scientists and surgeons….. Sue Archbold, PhD.

These electronic devices are surgically implanted into a person’s cochlea and act as a replacement ear to bypass the damaged systems preventing normal hearing. The most significant part of these devices are the electrodes, which connect the electrical device to the biological system..

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation, about 8 million children (aged 6 - 17 yr.) and adults in the United States in 2002 were deaf or hard of hearing. About 1 million of these individuals are functionally deaf.. most significant technical advance. in the treatment of hearing impairment since the development of the hearing aid around the turn of the century..

A mother whose child has had a cochlear implant tells Laura Mauldin why enrollment in the sign language program at her daughter’s school is plummeting: “The majority of parents want their kids to talk.” Some parents, however, feel very differently, because “curing” deafness with cochlear implants is uncertain, difficult, and freighted with judgment about what is normal, acceptable, and right. Made to Hear sensitively and thoroughly considers the structure and culture of the systems we have built to make deaf children hear.Based on accounts of and interviews with families who adopt the cochlear implant for their deaf children, this book describes the experiences of mothers as they navigate the health care system, their interactions with the professionals who work with them, and the influence of neuroscience on the process. Though Mauldin explains the politics surrounding the issue, her focus is not on the controversy of whether to have a cochlear implant but on the long-term, multiyear undertaking of implantation. Her study provides a nuanced view of a social context in which science, technology, and medicine are trusted to vanquish disability—and in which mothers are expected to use these tools. Made to Hear reveals that implantation has the central goal of controlling the development of the deaf child’s brain by boosting synapses for spoken language and inhibiting those for sign language, placing the politics of neuroscience front and center.Examining the consequences of cochlear implant technology for professionals and parents of deaf children, Made to Hear shows how certain neuroscientific claims about neuroplasticity, deafness, and language are deployed to encourage compliance with medical technology. Cochlear Implants: Audiologic Management and Considerations for Implantable Hearing Devices provides comprehensive coverage of the audiological principles and practices pertaining to cochlear implants and other implantable hearing technologies. This is the first and only book that is written specifically for audiologists and that exhaustively addresses the details involved with the assessment and management of cochlear implant technology. Additionally, this book provides a through overview of hybrid cochlear implants, implantable bone conduction hearing technology, middle ear implantable implants, and auditory brainstem implants. Key Features: Previously, audiology students and clinicians would need to purchase multiple textbooks to gain access to the comprehensive information contained in this book. Each chapter features an abundance of figures supporting the clinical practices and principles discussed in the text and enabling students and clinicians to more easily understand and apply the material to clinical practice. The information in this book is evidence based and whenever possible is supported by up-to-date peer-reviewed research. This textbook provides comprehensive coverage of complex information and sophisticated technology in a manner that is student-friendly and in an easily understandable narrative form. The concepts covered in the narrative text are presented clearly and then reinforced through additional learning aids including case studies and video examples. Includes bolded key terms and a comprehensive glossary to improve retention of the material. Cochlear Implants is the perfect choice for graduate level courses covering implantable hearing technologies because the book provides a widespread yet intricate description of every implantable hearing technology available for clinical use today. This textbook is an invaluable resource and reference for both audiology graduate students and clinical audiologists who wo 1. Consensus statements for cochlear implantation. Category 7 - .
