  • Title: Cochlear implant hearing performance at the University of Minnesota.
    Author: Kimberley BP, Lee A, Scheller L, Levine S, Adams G, Nelson DA.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1989 Feb; 18(1):24-7. PubMed ID: 2921782.
    Abstract:
    The hearing performance of six post-lingually deaf adults implanted with the Nucleus 22-channel device are presented. All patients achieved measurable open set speech recognition with implant alone. The best hearing performance was achieved with a combination of lipreading and cochlear implant. For this condition our group achieved an average open set speech discrimination score of 85% (CID sentences) and an average speech tracking rate of 70 words per minute. We attribute the success of our group to careful pre-operative selection, including attention to candidate motivation toward hearing rehabilitation.
