3 Course Description: This course will address topics related to routine and special programming issues and methods in pediatric and adult recipients. It will also present new and promising techniques to assist in programming including genetic algorithms, CT guided imaging and the use of objective measures. Consideration will be given to the programming of bimodal, electroacoustic and SSD fittings. Format will include lectures, roundtable discussions and audience participation, with special emphasis on case studies. Target Audience: Professionals involved in the programming of cochlear implants. Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to: Identify a minimum of 2 clinical situations which ECAP measures could provide useful information. Describe the relationship between the electrically-evoked stapedial reflex threshold (ESRT) and cochlear implant stimulation levels. Identify at least 3 unique approaches to facilitate successful measurement of the ESRT in the clinic. Describe the effects of increasing maxima for speech understanding in quiet and in noise. Identify effects of mismatched bilateral auditory input during development. Outline methods to provide balanced or matched bilateral cochlear implant stimulation. Summarize some key elements of artificial intelligence applied to CI fitting and evaluate the quality of the target driven, computer assisted approach. Discuss how case studies regarding objective measures, maxima and fox usability can be used to demonstrate the advancements attained in cochlear implant programming. Describe the concept of CI application in SSD and identified the benefit of CI. Describe the fitting process of a cochlear implant system with electric acoustic stimulation. State the programming parameters affecting EAS fittings. Describe the effect of cochlear implant bandwidth and acoustic hearing bandwidth on speech understanding and subjective estimates of listening difficulty. Describe at least 3 programming parameters that influence cochlear implant recipients performance with assistive technologies. Explain how functional electrodes can be placed at any location along the electrode array using current steering and the potential applications of choosing these locations after implantation. Describe how the combination of electrode location and frequency allocation determines the amount of frequency mismatch for postlingually deaf cochlear implant users. Discuss the protocol for assessing the problem patient and describe the information the clinician can obtain in the CDX file. Explain 3 program challenges in managing difficult patients. Identify the stages of cochlear implant programming and the potential efficiencies in programing cochlear implants and hearing aids. Describe 3 advancements in the evolution of how we treat recipients with the Nucleus Cochlear Implant System. Discover the current topics in fitting MED-El systems with a focus on EAS (combined Electric and Acoustic Stimulation) systems including the challenges, opportunities and recent research outcomes relevant to fitting users.

4 Summarize the programming methodology used to configure the Neuro Cochlear Implant System and the methods by which sound intensity may be encoded using a Cochlear Implant.
