Podcasts about Cochlear

Cochlear implants remain vastly underutilized despite decades of evidence showing their ability to restore hearing and improve quality of life. In this episode, neurotologist Dr. Varun Varadarajan joins host Brian Taylor to explore the clinical, logistical, and cultural barriers that continue to limit access to cochlear implant care. Drawing on his background in music and neuroscience, Dr. Varadarajan shares his journey into hearing restoration surgery and offers insights into early intervention, the 60/60 referral guideline, and why timing matters for long-term outcomes.The discussion highlights several misconceptions that often delay or prevent patients from seeking cochlear implant evaluation—from concerns about age, surgery, and cost to misunderstandings about candidacy and device function. Dr. Varadarajan stresses the importance of individualized counseling, collaborative decision-making, and helping patients understand that cochlear implantation is a process, not a one-size-fits-all solution. He also addresses myths within the professional community, including hesitancy around residual hearing loss and outdated assumptions about surgical complexity.Beyond clinical considerations, Dr. Varadarajan shares practical strategies for building and expanding cochlear implant programs, including the importance of audiology partnerships, reimbursement planning, and aligning institutional goals. He also explains the value of the Cochlear Provider Network in connecting rural or underserved patients to implant services, and discusses how remote care and virtual follow-up are reshaping postoperative management.Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter). https://twitter.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearing- https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

A deeper understanding of how the brain regulates sound perception through inner ear nerve fibers could transform the way hearing loss is diagnosed and managed. In this conversation, Dr. John Oghalai explores groundbreaking research that uncovers the brain's role in modulating cochlear nerve fibers to adjust sound levels in response to hearing loss. These findings provide new insights into auditory processing and may help explain conditions such as hyperacusis and tinnitus, offering potential pathways for future treatment approaches.Dr. Oghalai further explores the implications of these findings for future treatments and personalized hearing care. He also shares how advanced imaging technologies like optical coherence tomography (OCT) could one day revolutionize the diagnosis and management of hearing disorders, potentially leading to more effective and tailored therapeutic approaches. This discussion provides a detailed look at the evolving landscape of hearing research and its potential impact on patient care.Learn more about the work being conducted in Dr. Oghalai's lab: https://oghalailab.usc.edu/research/Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter).- https://twitter.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearing

In this episode of "I'm Just Dizzy," we delve into a topic that has garnered significant attention over recent years: the prevalence of vestibular and cochlear symptoms associated with COVID-19 infections and vaccinations. Join us as we unravel the complexities behind symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing loss, which have become notably common among COVID-19 survivors and those who have been vaccinated.We start by exploring the statistics that shed light on the frequency of these symptoms. Post-COVID-19 infection, a significant number of people have exhibited spontaneous and positional nystagmus, difficulty with eye movements, and vertigo, indicating potential inner ear damage and vestibular dysfunction. We also discuss the incidence of these symptoms following vaccination, reassuring listeners that while the numbers are lower, the experiences of those affected are no less significant.Our journey continues as we examine the potential causes of these symptoms. From direct viral infections of the inner ear to vascular complications and the impact of Long COVID, we cover the various factors contributing to these distressing conditions. We delve into the intricacies of inner ear infections, such as vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis, and their potential to lead to chronic conditions like Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (3PD).Moreover, we address the challenges in diagnosing central vestibular disorders and the importance of an accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. Highlighting the benefits of vestibular rehabilitation and complementary therapies, we emphasize the need for individualized treatment plans to aid recovery.Finally, we stress the importance of ongoing research in understanding these symptoms and developing better treatment protocols. As we wrap up, we encourage our listeners to stay informed and proactive about their health, reminding them that they are not alone in this journey. Tune in for expert insights, valuable information, and a supportive community dedicated to your health and well-being.Let me know in the Comments section if you have specific topics you want me to cover.Don't forget about the download, which you can access from our podcast show on our website.Looking for more resources?CLICK HERE to visit our website to answer additional questions.CLICK HERE to access our blogs and sign-up for our newsletters.

Any otolaryngologist or cochlear implant (CI) patient can tell you that the journey to better hearing begins in earnest after CI activation. When the patient in question is a child, what does that journey look like? In this episode of the BackTable ENT podcast, Dr. Sarah Cordingley, audiologist with Peak ENT (Provo, Utah), joins host Dr. Gopi Shah to discuss aural rehabilitation for pediatric CI patients. --- SYNPOSIS First, Dr. Cordingley explains how audiologists work alongside otolaryngologists, social workers, and occupational therapists to prepare patients for cochlear implantation. Since younger patients cannot sit for a standard audiogram, she uses auditory milestones, visual reinforcement audiology (VRA) and conditioned play audiometry (CPA) to assess pediatric hearing loss.

Dr. Michal Kaufman, head of the Ear Surgery and Cochlear Transplantation Center at Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem, talks us through the causes and treatments of hearing loss. 

שינוי בתקינה הוליד קטגוריה חדשה בשוק האוזניות שנועדה עבור אלו המתקשים לשמוע אבל לא מספיק כדי להצדיק מכשיר שמיעה יקר   שאלנו את בארד, מקווה שהוא לא מחרטט אבל זה מסתדר עם מה שידענו (שלזה יש שם ספציפי, משהו Bias) בכל מקרה, לפי המכון האמריקאי הלאומי לחרשות והפרעות תקשורת, יש בארה"ב כ-30 מיליון בוגרים עם אובדן שמיעה בשתי האוזניים, מתוכם רק 20% נחשבים חירשים, כלומר קשה להם להבין דיבור גם עם מכשיר שמיעה. שאר שמונים האחוזים נחשבים כבדי שמיעה, כך שמכשיר שמיעה יכול לעזור להם להבין דיבור. ופה בדיוק השוק של ה-iQ Buds 2 Max According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), approximately 30 million adults in the United States (13%) have hearing loss in both ears. Of these, 20% are considered deaf, meaning they have difficulty understanding speech even with a hearing aid. The remaining 80% are considered hard of hearing, meaning they can understand speech with the help of a hearing aid.   The prevalence of hearing loss increases with age. For example, about 40% of adults aged 65-74 and 70% of adults aged 75 and older have hearing loss in both ears.   Hearing loss can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. It can make it difficult to communicate, participate in social activities, and work. It can also lead to social isolation, depression, and anxiety.   There are a number of things that can be done to help people with hearing loss, including: Wearing hearing aids. Hearing aids amplify sound, making it easier for people with hearing loss to hear. Cochlear implants. Cochlear implants are electronic devices that can restore some hearing to people who are profoundly deaf. American Sign Language (ASL). ASL is a visual language that is used by many deaf people. Learning ASL can help people with hearing loss communicate with others. Support groups. Support groups can provide people with hearing loss with a sense of community and understanding.   Of the 80% of adults in the US who are hard of hearing, 60% have light hearing loss and 40% have heavy hearing loss.   Light hearing loss is defined as a hearing loss of 25 to 40 decibels (dB). This level of hearing loss can make it difficult to hear soft sounds, such as a whisper or the ticking of a clock. However, people with light hearing loss can usually understand speech in quiet environments. Heavy hearing loss is defined as a hearing loss of 41 to 90 dB. This level of hearing loss can make it difficult to hear even loud sounds. People with heavy hearing loss may need to use a hearing aid or cochlear implant to understand speech. It is important to note that these are just general guidelines. The severity of hearing loss can vary from person to person, even if they have the same level of hearing loss. For example, two people with 40 dB of hearing loss may have different experiences. One person may be able to understand speech in quiet environments without any difficulty, while the other person may need to use a hearing aid to understand speech in any environment.

At age 10, Rachel Zemach lost her her hearing in an accident.  That obviously changed her life--but, she says, becoming deaf was one of her life's greatest gifts.  In this episode, Rachel shares her experiences going through the world with and without hearing, and offers advice on how hearing people can help and advocate for deaf people (including words and actions both to use and to avoid--hint: don't assume all deaf people can lip read!).  Rachel also offers her opinions about cochlear implants; teaching deaf kids and their parents American Sign Language; the strength and humor of the deaf community; and much more.  She spent many years as a teacher of deaf children, and recently wrote a book, "The Butterfly Cage," chronicling her experiences and observations.   In this episode:03:37--Describing coming home from the hospital at age 10 and realizing things were different05:13--How and why Rachel's love and language stayed strong07:21--Some of the "great gifts" she has experienced being part of the deaf community10:49--Frustrations and challenges Rachel faces14:31--Cochlear implants: what they are, how Rachel feels about them, and the benefits of learning ASL20:47--Why many doctors tell parents of deaf children not to learn ASL, and the harm that causes26:01--Rachel's thoughts on the state of advocacy for deaf people30:26-Rachel's advice to parents of deaf children31:25--The experience of writing a book about her years teaching deaf children33:42--Tips on things hearing people should (and should not) do and say to deaf peopleWant to know more about Rachel?Find her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RzemachLink up with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-zemach/Tweet her on X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/rachel_zemachSearch up her website: www.rachelzemach.comBuy her book, The Butterfly Cage, at www.bookshop.orgWant to know more about "What It's Like To..."?Sign up to be on our Insiders' List to receive our newsletters and insiders' information!

What would you do if you suddenly lost your hearing? Sami Rigby, an Australian advocate and someone who knows this question all too intimately, joins us for an enlightening conversation on managing Meniere's Disease and her experience getting a Cochlear implant. Sami takes us through her personal journey, sharing how she moved from a moderate to severe hearing loss amidst the COVID-19 lockdown, the emotional toll it took and how she discovered the power of self-care and the courage to prioritize her needs.Isn't it fascinating how the brain adapts to new challenges? Sammy's experience with her Cochlear implant goes beyond just a medical device, it's about the brain merging the sounds from the implant with natural hearing - a process Sami describes with vivid detail. From initially sounding robotic to gradually resembling someone speaking through a microphone, she shares the strategies she uses in noisy environments and the importance of shifting mindsets in social situations. It's an account that not only demystifies the Cochlear implant but also gives a voice to the Meniere's community.There's a special triumph in overcoming obstacles and reclaiming your life, and Sami's personal victories are a testament to that. She opens up about her acclimation process with the Cochlear implant, the tools that helped her along the way, and the importance of hearing protection. Her story is a beacon of hope, reminding us of the resilience of the human spirit, and how technology is transforming lives in the hearing loss community. Join us for this inspiring conversation that will leave you with a renewed appreciation for the everyday activities we often take for granted.Connect with Sami Rigby on Instagram: @deafjamsami  Support the showConnect with the Hearing Matters Podcast TeamEmail: hearingmatterspodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @hearing_matters_podcast Twitter: @hearing_mattasFacebook: Hearing Matters Podcast

MRI is a very common medical procedure for both otological and non-otological reasons, so it shouldn't have complications or be painful for hearing implant recipients. Dr. Ingo Todt and Dr. Martin Zimmerling talk to Manfred Pieber about the features of MED-EL implants that reduce or eliminate complications - such as magnet dislocation - during MRI: a freely rotating, robust, diametrically bipolar magnet that is removable when it is necessary to reduce the size of imaging artifacts.

When people notice their vision blurring, they will frequently dash off to the eye doctor. Not so with hearing loss. It often goes ignored and undiagnosed until it becomes unbearable. Dr. Courtney Voelker is trying to change that. She's a neurotologist, a head and neck surgeon who specializes in diseases of the ear and related structures. She spends much of her time giving the gift of hearing to her patients using cochlear implants. These near-magical devices restore hearing after an intricate two-hour, outpatient surgery. They help newborns get on the path to mainstream development and cognition. Dr. Voelker has watched many toddlers light up when they hear the world for the first time. Cochlear implants help older adults avoid the isolation and cognitive decline that comes with hearing loss. With Bluetooth technology, cochlear implants are becoming almost bionic in their capabilities. They can connect to sound systems in music venues or classrooms. Listen to this episode to find out how Dr. Voelker is opening up access to the world of sound for all.

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech show. Brian welcomes in Aaron Hale, a motivational speaker, extreme athlete, business entrepreneur, and a Blind Veteran.   We kick the interview off with Aaron telling us how he was blinded in combat as Aaron was in the army and an explosives expert. We find out what it feels like to approach an explosive device, and Aaron shares with us the incident that blinded him.   Aaron then walks us through his recovery process at Walter Reed, and how helpful his introduction to the Bard Talking Book Reader was.    While rehabbing and instructing Aaron was introduced to Homes for Heroes.   Not one to sit around, as soon as Aaron got going on the iPhone, he began researching outdoor activities for the blind. He came across several blind people who have accomplished amazing tasks, and wanted to know how he could get involved with exploring the outdoors as someone who is blind. Which led to him climbing the Andes Mountains with a group of Wounded Veterans.   Aaron and Brian reminisce a little about some of their favorite shows growing up.   Aaron then tells us about when and how he lost his hearing, and what learning he would be deaf blind was like. Amazingly, Aaron all handled it phenomenally well thanks to his sense of humor.   Aaron then shares with us what takes place during the Cochlear implant process.   Next Aaron tells us a little about his time in the Navy as a cook, and how he eventually started a very successful fudge business called Extra Ordinary Delights.   Read about Aaron's appearance on The Rachel Ray Show.   Aaron then tells us about his continuing involvement with Homes for Heroes, and the upcoming event he is currently training for the Badwater 135 where he will be raising money for Homes For Heroes. If you would like to support Aaron or Homes For Heroes please make a donation here.   We then discuss what the experience with Veteran Affairs has been like.   Make sure to check out Aaron's podcast Point of Impact.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005, and make sure to visit our website where you can listen to any of our past episodes.
