Abstract
Cochlear and auditory brainstem implants offer safe and effective hearing habilitation and rehabilitation for profoundly deafened adults and children. Brainstem implant technology is currently approved for use in patients with type 2 Neurofibromatosis, who have lost integrity of auditory nerves following vestibular schwannoma removal. An update on implant devices, speech processing strategies, candidacy criteria, and perceptual performance are provided in this article.
