Researchers Create Algorithm to Predict Language Ability in Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants
This study’s novel use of artificial intelligence to understand brain structure underlying language development has broad reaching implications for children with developmental challenges.
Cochlear Implant Patients Risk Magnet Displacement and Pain during MRI
Magnet displacement, pain and discomfort during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be a risk for cochlear implant patients, according to a report published in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery. CI patients can have difficulties while undergoing an MRI because of exposure of the CI’s internal magnet to the strong electromagnetic field of MRI.
