The Cochlea01:13

The Cochlea

The cochlea is a coiled structure in the inner ear that contains hair cells—the sensory receptors of the auditory system. Sound waves are transmitted to the cochlea by small bones attached to the eardrum called the ossicles, which vibrate the oval window that leads to the inner ear. This causes fluid in the chambers of the cochlea to move, vibrating the basilar membrane.
Hair Cells01:22

Hair Cells

Hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory system—they transduce mechanical sound waves into electrical energy that the nervous system can understand. Hair cells are located in the organ of Corti within the cochlea of the inner ear, between the basilar and tectorial membranes. The actual sensory receptors are called inner hair cells. The outer hair cells serve other functions, such as sound amplification in the cochlea, and are not discussed in detail here.
Design Example01:23

Design Example

The innovation of touch-tone telephony revolutionized the telecommunications industry by replacing the traditional rotary dial with a dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signaling system. This system uses a matrix-style keypad with buttons arranged in four rows and three columns, creating 12 distinct signals each assigned to a pair of frequencies. Each button press results in a simultaneous generation of two sinusoidal tones – one from a low-frequency group (697 to 941 Hz) and one from a...
Hearing01:31

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.
Auditory Pathway01:15

Auditory Pathway

Auditory pathways constitute the complex neural circuits responsible for transmitting and interpreting auditory information from the peripheral auditory system to the brain. Sound waves are initially captured by the outer ear, funneled through the ear canal, and reach the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted via the middle ear's ossicles to the inner ear's cochlea.
When viewed cross-sectionally, the cochlea reveals the scala vestibuli and scala tympani flanking the...

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Telephone use is crucial for communication and independence.
  • Cochlear implantation aims to restore hearing, but real-world communication challenges persist.
  • Understanding telephone usability post-cochlear implant is vital for effective rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the extent of landline and mobile phone use among cochlear implant users internationally.
  • To identify factors influencing telephone usability in cochlear implant recipients.
  • To inform counselling and rehabilitation strategies for cochlear implant candidates and users.

Main Methods:

  • A custom-designed survey was distributed internationally to cochlear implant users.
  • Data collection involved mailed surveys and online responses via the MED-EL website.
  • 196 surveys were analyzed to assess telephone usage patterns.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in telephone use was observed post-cochlear implantation compared to pre-operative levels.
  • 71% of users reported some ability to use landline phones, while 54% could use mobile phones.
  • Easier communication occurred with familiar speakers and topics; landline voice recognition was superior. Many users required assistance for initiating calls, but could manage emergency calls.

Conclusions:

  • Cochlear implantation significantly enhances telephone communication abilities.
  • Landline phones offer better voice recognition, while mobile phones are manageable for emergencies.
  • Findings support tailored counselling and rehabilitation to optimize telephone use for cochlear implant recipients.
