Publisher's Synopsis
The high incidence of severe and profound hearing loss, the increase in life expectancy, hearing loss detection programs, the dissemination of the benefits of cochlear implants and the improvements in social coverage, generated an increase in the number of cochlear implant users and encouraged the creation of teams of professionals specialized in this field. On the other hand, the constant technological advances achieved by the manufacturers of implantable hearing devices demand a permanent updating by professionals. That is why the idea of creating this book arose, which is intended for those audiologists who are starting or are in their first years of programming. It aims to share audiological information on the current management of Cochlear R cochlear implants in order to maximize the quality of the information provided and promote the use of the devices. The different parameters, measurements and modifications to create and optimize a programming MAP are described.
