    Current trends in speech perception performance in adult cochlear implant patients [Abstract]
    Hollow, Rod ; Plant, Kerrie ; Whitford, Lesley ; Skok, Marisa ; DOWELL, RICHARD ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1996)
    In 1994, Cochlear Pty. Ltd. (Now Cochlear Limited) released a new speech processor, the Spectra 22, for use with the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear implant. The Spectra 22 speech processor incorporates a new speech processing strategy called SPEAK, which is based upon research conducted by the University of Melbourne. This paper reports post-operative scores on open-set word and sentence materials for adult patients in the Melbourne Cochlear Implant Clinic who have been started up with the Spectra 22 speech processor.

    Results of multichannel cochlear implantation in very young children [Abstract]
    Galvin, K. ; Clark, Graeme M. ; DETTMAN, SHANI ; Dowell, Richard C. ; Barker, E. J. ; Rance, G. ; Hollow, R. ; Cowan, R. ( 1995)
    Most researchers and clinicians working in the cochlear implant field have assumed that profoundly deaf children will have a better prognosis in terms of speech perception, speech production and language development, implanted at as young an age as possible. However, it has been difficult to gather direct evidence for this hypothesis due to the problems in assessing children under the age of five years with formal tests.

    Speech perception results for implanted children with different levels of preoperative residual hearing [Abstract]
    Galvin, K.L. ; Rance, G. ; Larratt, M. ; Hollow, R. ; Herridge, S. ; Skok, M. ; Dowell, R.C. ; Pyman, B. ; Gibson, W.P.R. ; Clark, Graeme M. ; Cowan, R. S. C. ; DelDot, J. ; Barker, E. J. ; Sarant, J. Z. ; Dettman, S. ; Pegg, P. ( 1996)
    Many reports have established that hearing-impaired children using the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear implant may show both significant benefits to lipreading, and significant scores on open-set words and sentences using electrical stimulation only. These findings have raised suggestions that severely or severely-to-profoundly deaf children might benefit more from a cochlear implant than conventional amplification.

    Speech perception benefits for implanted children with preoperative residual hearing [Abstract]
    Hollow, R. ; Rance, G. ; Dowell, R.C. ; Pyman, B. ; Clark, Graeme M. ; Cowan, R. S. C. ; Galvin, K. L. ; Barker, E. J. ; Sarant, J. Z. ; Dettman, S. ( 1995)
    Since the implantation of the first children with the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear prosthesis in Melbourne in 1985, there has been rapid expansion in the number of implanted children world-wide. Improved surgical technique and experience in paediatric assessment and management have contributed to a trend to implant very young children. At the same time there has also been continuing development of improved speech processing strategies resulting in greater speech perception benefits.
