THE 12TH EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM ON PEDIATRIC COCHLEAR IMPLANTS (ESPCI), JUNE 18–21, 2015, TOULOUSE, FRANCE
Journal Title: Journal of Hearing Science - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The 12th European Symposium on Pediatric Cochlear Implants (ESPCI) was held in Toulouse, France on 18–21 June 2015. The first ESPCI was organized in 1992 in Nottingham and since then the growing interest in pediatric cochlear implantation, as well as increasingly higher levels of research presented at each of the subsequent meetings, has made this series popular, and not only in Europe. Incidentally, the Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing (IPPH) organized the 9th ESPCI in 2009. This year, over 1700 participants gathered from all over the world. The theme of this ESPCI was ‘Emerging concepts and emerging talents in cochlear implants’, as the organizers wanted to promote new ideas concerning this multidisciplinary domain. Over 700 papers were presented as keynote lectures, round table discussions, podium presentations, posters, workshops, and instructional courses.

MEASURING CORTICAL ACTIVITY DURING AUDITORY PROCESSING WITH FUNCTIONAL NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an optical, non-invasive neuroimaging technique that investigates human brain activity by calculating concentrations of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin. The aim of this publicati...
ANTERIOR COURSE OF THE SIGMOID SINUS AND USE OF A LIFT WITH THE BONEBRIDGE IMPLANT: CASE REPORT
Background: The Bonebridge bone conduction implant (BCI) is used in cases of conductive, mixed hearing loss and single-sided deafness. The system can be implanted in the mastoid process pre- or retrosigmoidally. Presigmo...
ELECTRO-NATURAL STIMULATION (ENS) IN PARTIAL DEAFNESS TREATMENT: A CASE STUDY
Background: There is a significant group of elderly patients whose hearing impairment is characterized by normal or slightly elevated thresholds in the low and mid frequency bands (below 1500 Hz) with nearly total deafne...
USE OF WIDEBAND ABSORBANCE MEASUREMENT TO ASSESS LARGE VESTIBULAR AQUEDUCT SYNDROME: A CASE STUDY
There is a limited number of diagnostic procedures to verify the presence of large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS) in humans. The wideband absorbance (WBA) measurement technique is a non-invasive and objective tool f...
