Advanced Bionics

Future Proof – Novel Paradigms in Objective Measures

The Advanced Bionics Symposium will cover AB technologies and innovations that address the continually evolving needs of today’s CI patient.

The program will include data that predict requirements of an ideal electrode array, novel AB tools that can be used to assess residual hearing in patients from the intra-operative setting through device use, and finally, optimizing the electrode-nerve interface in individual patients using objective evidence of electrode position in the patient’s cochlea.

Breakfast Satellite Symposium II: 7:15 AM

MED-EL

Objective Measures and More: An Update

At the breakfast symposium, early risers will not only catch the latest news about MED-EL's exciting products—they will also get a sneak-peak at a new algorithm for ART/ECAP measurements including exciting results presented by Lutz Gärtner (Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, Germany).

Additionally, Julie Kosaner (Meders Hearing and Speech Center, Istanbul, Turkey) will present on a quick stapedius-reflex-based objective fitting procedure for pediatric patients that has been successfully used for years.

Last but not least, those interested in research topics should not miss the overview of the latest news in research systems.
