Neurostimulation bioimplants consist of several components, including the implanted electrodes, a pulse generator or stimulator, and external programming devices. (marketsandmarkets.com)
The implanted electrodes are placed near the targeted nerves or brain regions, and the pulse generator delivers electrical impulses to modulate the neural activity. (marketsandmarkets.com)
Middle-latency Auditory Evoked Potentials (MLAEP) are bioelectric responses captured by electrodes placed at specific regions on the surface of the head, occurring between 10 and 80ms after the sound stimulus, and comprise a series of waves of negative voltage represented by the letter N and positive voltage represented by the letter P. In general, MLAEP responses are analysed in milliseconds for wave latencies and in microvolts for amplitude. (bvsalud.org)

Before dispensing a hearing aid, patients receive an audiological evaluation which includes conventional testing and sedated auditory brainstem response (ABR) and other specialized tests of middle and inner ear function. (lifespan.org)
The device works by bypassing damaged hair cells in your inner ear (cochlea) and directly stimulating the auditory nerve to send information to your brain. (earpros.com)
This system includes a receiver placed just below the skin that picks up the sound from the processor, as well as an implant attached to one of the bones in the middle ear, or near the membrane window of the inner ear. (earpros.com)
The implant directly moves the bones of the middle ear or causes the membrane window of the inner ear to vibrate, enabling amplified transmission of sounds. (earpros.com)
Sensorineural1
An alternative to hearing aids, middle ear implants may be an option if you have mild to moderate conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss and can't wear hearing aids. (earpros.com)
Pathways4
The clinical application of MLAEP is used in the evaluation of any abnormality that could impair the central auditory pathways, situated between the brain-colliculus lower trunk and the primary auditory cortex 7 . (bvsalud.org)
This exam has shown to be the most appropriate method for the objective evaluation of auditory pathways integrity since MLAEP have higher neural origins 9 . (bvsalud.org)
In Brazil, studies have been conducted using MLAEP in clinical conditions such as auditory processing disorder central 10 , aphasia 11 , human immunode ciency caused by HIV virus 12-13 Landau-Kleffner syndrome 14 , Multiple Sclerosis 15 , showing latency and amplitude changes in these conditions inherent to dysfunctions of central auditory pathways. (bvsalud.org)
Central hearing loss results from damage to the auditory nerve itself, or the brain pathways that lead to the nerve. (medlineplus.gov)
Generally speaking, cochlear implant surgery is recommended for children and adults with severe hearing loss in both ears and it may be beneficial when hearing aids are ineffective. (healthcentre.org.uk)

It's important to work with an audiologist and speech therapist to ensure you're adapting properly and learning the necessary skills to reap the benefits of cochlear implants. (earpros.com)
Device2
Dr Shivdasani's own research at the Bionics Institute played a major role in this project since the beginning, and his unique preclinical electrophysiology experiments were instrumental in the design and development of Australia's first bionic eye prototype which was successfully implanted in three patients in 2012, only 3 years since the development of the device began.
