From The Publisher: After Michael Chorost suddenly lost what was left of his hearing, he took the radical step of having a cochlear implant -- a tiny computer -- installed in his head. A technological marvel, the device not only restored to him the world of sound but also could be routinely upgraded with new software. Despite his intitial fear of the technology's potentially dehumanizing effects, Chorost's implant allowed him to connect with others in surprising ways: as a cyborg, he learned about love, joined a writing group, and formed deeper friendships. More profoundly, his perception of the world around him was dramatically altered. Cochlear Implantsby Susan B., Ph.D. Waltzman and J. Roland
The second edition of Cochlear Implants provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art techniques for evaluating and selecting the cochlear implant candidate. Clear descriptions of surgical techniques guide the reader through implantation procedures, and chapters address important issues such as speech production, language development, and education in implant recipients. This second edition features: New chapters on the genetics of hearing loss, sound processing, binaural hearing, and electroacoustic stimulation Complete discussion of the most recent advances in evaluation procedures, surgery, programming methods, speech processing strategies, and more Precise, easy-to-follow tables and figures enhance comprehension of the basic science, research and clinical concepts covered in the text Coverage of the medical and surgical complications of cochlear implantation Insights from an interdisciplinary team of experts in otolaryngology, audiology, the basic sciences, speech pathology, and education Ideal for learning and reference, Cochlear Implants synthesizes the key information needed by practitioners, researchers, and students in a range of disciplines. Readers will benefit from both the scope and thoroughness of this authoritative reference. Cochlear Implants: A Practical Guideby Huw Cooper and Louise Craddock
This is a comprehensive multi-author handbook covering all aspects of cochlear implantation, fully updated since its first edition was published in 1991. All aspects of this rapidly developing field are covered, from implant design, speech processing strategies, assessment and rehabilitation of children and adults to future developments. Chapters written by implant users and their parents give fascinating insight into the experience of hearing again with a cochlear implant. School Professionals Working With Children With Cochlear Implantsby Patricia M. Chute and Mary Ellen Nevins
This new book is a comprehensive resource for school-based professionals who work with the increasing number of children with cochlear implants. Focusing on giving the reader critical background information, the well-known authors begin with the history, technology, and functionality of cochlear implants. They cover the changes seen in the populations now utilizing these devices and describe how the impact of having an implant can affect a child. Finally, they highlight how the clinician and team providing services can best address each child’s individual needs. Special consideration is given to the multidisciplinary team and the culture of collaboration: handling the effects of family influence and participation, issues of special populations (such as non-English-speaking parents), and providing services that best address individual children’s needs. Throughout the text, the authors address new questions and issues resulting from the rapidly evolving technology. The authors detail the effects of more and younger children receiving cochlear implants entering into school systems and discuss the emerging and increased role of the speech pathologist. The book is the ideal guide and supplies the school professional with tools for providing the best possible direction and options for children with cochlear implants. Cochlear Implants: Auditory Prostheses and Electric Hearing (Springer Handbook of Auditory Research)by Fan-Gang Zeng, Arthur N. Popper, and Richard R. Fay
Cochlear implants have instigated a popular but controversial revolution in the treatment of deafness. This book discusses the physiological bases of using artificial devices to electrically stimulate the brain to interpret sounds. As the first successful device to restore neural function, the cochlear implant serves as a model for research in neuroscience and biomedical engineering. These and other auditory prostheses are discussed in the context of historical treatments, engineering, psychophysics and clinical issues as well as implications for speech, behavior, cognition and long-term effects on people.

Chorost chronicles his journey from deafness to hearing, from human to cyborg, and how it transformed him. Written with self-deprecating, dry wit this volume explores hearing, sound, and software that can now mend the senses.
