    Improvements in speech perception with the Nucleus 22 electrode cochlear prosthesis [Abstract]
    Dowell, R. C. ; Skinner, M. ; Webb, R. L. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1996)
    The 22 electrode cochlear prosthesis developed at the University of Melbourne and manufactured by Cochlear Limited has been implanted in more than 13.000 adults and children with profound deafness since 1982. The implanted electronics has remained largely unchanged but there has been continual development of the externally-worn speech processor. The latest advance in speech coding is known as SPEAK and is implemented in the SPECTRA processor. The SPEAK scheme has been used by implanted adults and children since mid-1994.

    Factors affecting speech perception in children cochlear 22-channel cochlear prosthesis [Abstract]
    Dettman, S. ; Hollow, R. ; Herridge, S. ; Rance, G. ; Larratt, M. ; Skok, M. ; Dowel, R.C. ; Pyman, B. ; Clark, Graeme M. ; Cowan, R. S. C. ; Galvin, K. L. ; Klieve, S. ; Barker, E. J. ; DeDot, J. ; Sarant, J. S. ( 1996)
    Since the implantation of the first children with the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear prosthesis in Melbourne in 1985, there have been rapid expansion world-wide in the number of children using this implant system. Longer-term experience with implanted children has led to improvements in paediatric assessment and management. Speech processing strategies have also been improved, resulting in a series of increases in speech perception benefits.
