Introduction of the method of treatment of partial deafness with cochlear implants has given many patients the previously inaccessible chance to (re)enter the world of sounds. This method of treatment had been developed and introduced to the world's medicine by H. Skarżyński in 2002, after the extensive research since 1997. This task involved creation of a multispecialty team of experts, development of a special surgical method, and concept of the therapy reflecting on the world largest number of hearing improving surgeries being performed for 13 years averaging 15,000 otosurgical procedures yearly. This chapter introduces the treatment of partial deafness, considered as the Polish School in world science and medicine.

“…The authors demonstrated that preservation of hearing thresholds was more successful when the soft surgery technique was used with median changes in average hearing thresholds between 250-500Hz measured at 40dB for the entire group and 23dB for the soft surgery group. Success in hearing preservation has also been reported using partial insertion of other electrode arrays, including the MED-EL C40+ implant (Gstoettner et al, 2004;Skarzynski et al, 2007). However delayed loss of residual hearing has been reported in some instances even when an atraumatic surgical technique is used (Fraysse et al, 2006;Gstoettner et al, 2006).…”

“…Gstoettner et al 57 reported on 18 of 21 cases (86%) in which a full or partial preservation was achieved. Skarzynski et al 54 reported on 9 of 10 cases (90%) of hearing preservation. With regard to long-term preservation, Gstoettner et al 59 presented data on 23 subjects and concluded that long-term preservation of ipsilateral hearing after CI implantation can be achieved in about 70% of cases.…”

“…Most authors therefore recommend a 360°insertion with insertion depths of about 18 to 20 mm for a hearingpreserving CI implantation. 50,52,54,56,57 To facilitate hearing preservation in CI surgery for EAS, MED-EL has developed the FLEX eas electrode. The FLEX eas electrode is a medium-length electrode (20.9 mm contact extent) with a highly flexible tip suitable for both cochleostomy and round window insertions.…”

201areas, MED-EL's research focuses on providing additional pitch information. One means to achieve this could be to increase the information per time unit (information rate) delivered to the cochlea; this can be done by increasing the stimulation rate. Another way would be to add additional information into the stimulation patterns such as temporal as well as spatial fine structure information. This will be further discussed in the development of speech-coding strategies section.In addition, this article provides an overview of the new technology incorporated in the MED-EL MAESTRO CI system, reviews recent research on bilateral cochlear implantation and electric-acoustic stimulation, and describes current research efforts on developing a CI device with drug delivery capability. The MAESTRO CI SystemThe MED-EL MAESTRO CI system comprises the PULSARCI 100 and SONATATI 100 CIs, which incorporate the I 100 electronics platform; the speech processors and the MAESTRO system software, together with the Diagnostic Interface Box II, is the link C ochlear implants (CIs) are a well-known and accepted treatment method for adults and children with severe to profound hearing loss. There has been much progress in the CI field since the article detailing trends in cochlear implantation. 1 Advances in technology, increased confidence in experience, and changes in candidacy have led to CIs being made available to a larger population.Recent CI recipients perform much better than those who received implants many years ago. Back then, CI performance focused on differentiating between the presence and absence of sound or female versus male voice. Expectations for recent CI recipients, however, have changed. Their performances have been tested under increasingly difficult listening conditions. The general experiences in the CI community are that CI users usually perform very well in quiet but worse in noise, and not all CI users are able to enjoy music. For further improvements in these Cochlear implantation is an accepted treatment method for adults and children with severe to profound hearing loss. Confidence in technology has led to changes in individuals who can receive a cochlear implant and changes in expected benefit with a cochlear implant. This article describes the research and development activities at MED-EL, which make possible the implementation of new speech-coding strategies as well as the application of acoustic and electric stimulation via a combined speech processor in MED-EL devices. Research on benefits from bilateral cochlear implantation and electric-acoustic stimulation are also reviewed. Finally, the potential of drug delivery systems is considered as a way to improve cochlear implant outcomes, and results from preliminary evaluations of a hybrid cochlear implant system with drug delivery capabilities are reported. between software and speech processors or implants. The MAESTRO CI system provides fine structure information for CI users (refer to the section on speech-coding strategies). In addition, audiologi...
