What Does a Cochlear Implant Sound Like? What We Have Learned from SSD Patients

This presentation covers how insertion angle or electrode length affects the sound quality of an implant. It is based on professor Michael Dorman’s research with SSD patients at the Cochlear Implant Lab at Arizona State University.

During this session, participants will:

Describe the differences in sound quality based on deeper versus shallower insertions of electrode arrays.
Describe the causes for the differences in sound quality between deep and shallow insertions of a cochlear implant.
