UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF AUDIOLOGY AND SPEECH SCIENCES COCHLEAR IMPLANTS: TOPICAL SEMINAR INTRODUCTION AND COURSE SYLLABUS 9 January – 22 February 2008 COURSE INSTRUCTOR: Sipke Pijl Ph.D. Director, Department of Audiology St. Paul’s Hospital 1081 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6Z 1Y6 Phone: (604) 682-2344 Ext. 62514 Fax: (604) 806-8447 E-mail: <[email protected]> UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF AUDIOLOGY AND SPEECH SCIENCES COCHLEAR IMPLANTS: A TOPICAL SEMINAR INTRODUCTION 9 January – 22 February 2008 GENERAL COURSE OBJECTIVES This course is intended to give an overview of cochlear implants and related technology for clinical audiologists. The course reviews issues such as cochlear implant candidacy criteria, cochlear implant design, surgery, habilitative and rehabilitative issues and strategies. SPECIFIC COURSE OBJECTIVES: To provide students with a general knowledge of The history, purpose, and application of cochlear implants The basic functioning of cochlear implants The issues surrounding candidacy for a cochlear implant A characterization of the physiological response of the auditory system to electrical stimulation The test batteries used in the determination of cochlear implant candidacy The test batteries used to assess performance with a cochlear implant Assistive technology for deaf and hard-of-hearing persons COURSE REQUIREMENTS: The Cochlear Implant Topical Seminar consists of 14 sessions (at St. Paul’s Hospital Department of Audiology). Most of the sessions will be in a lecture format, but a portion of some of the sessions will be devoted to lab (and demonstration) type of activities. Reading assignments are your responsibility. You will be asked to prepare one written assignment which will consist of either: Two case studies (approximately 1500 words each) on two separate cochlear implant recipients. In these case studies, factual information is expected to be accurate, but you will be graded primarily on your overall impressions and your thoughtful discussion of the relevant issues raised in the section below (under “Case Presentations”). If there is sufficient time, you may be asked to present these case studies in class. Or a paper (1500-2000 words): Comparing coding strategies for cochlear implants, and describing the reasons for their success Describing why cochlear implants have not been very successful in conveying musical information other than rhythm To convince a Ministry of Health official to provide additional funding so that pediatric and adult patients (if they so wish) can be implanted bilaterally Discussing some of the ethical questions surrounding pediatric cochlear implantation Justifying the cost of cochlear implantation for older adults Comparing the long-term survival rates of devices made by the 3 major cochlear implant manufacturers 2 Describing, for a potential implant recipient, the differences between Nucleus, MedEl and Advanced Bionics devices Discussing differences between adult and pediatric cochlear implant programs On a cochlear implant- related topic of your choice (check with course instructor first). The above are merely suggestions. CASE PRESENTATIONS Outline: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Chronological Summary (brief summary of patient’s hearing history) Background (age at onset, duration of deafness, age at implantation, hearing & hearing aid history) Cochlear Implant Candidacy Cochlear Implant Results Impressions Length: No more than 1500 words each, typewritten, double-spaced. For the purposes of this assignment, the impact of deafness and cochlear implantation on the CI recipient are more important than precise historical details about audiometric or speech perception data. Some questions to consider, in interviewing CI recipients: How did progressive (or sudden) deafness affect this patient? Family? Friends? How did this patient cope with the absence of useful hearing? What was this person’s quality of life, during unaidable deafness? Was this patient’s quality of life improved, as a result of cochlear implantation? If so, how? What were the social, educational, psychological & emotional consequences of unaidable deafness, for this patient? How has the sound of the cochlear implant compared to the sound of the patient’s hearing aid? Which ear was implanted, and why? Could equivalent results have been obtained through implantation of the other ear? How has the cochlear implant improved this person’s quality of life? The lives of family/friends? What was the time line, for this implant recipient’s adjustment to the sound of a cochlear implant? What remain the major limitations of the CI, for this person? Some suggestions: explore the ability of the person to use the phone for interactive conversation (not just with family/friends, but for making “business” calls to complete strangers who are not aware of the less-than-perfect hearing) explore the ability of the person to listen to the radio or TV (with or without closedcaptioning) explore the ability of the recipient to enjoy music (music that was familiar to the person, prior to the onset of deafness; or, the ability to enjoy “new” music” or music not previously heard) 3 explore the ability of the recipient to function in various noise backgrounds or multiple speakers (e.g., at dinner table, or at conventions or other gatherings) What are the factors that have made the implant a successful (or failed) intervention, for this person? What factors are limiting further achievement? What has been the role of plasticity of the auditory CNS to adapt to the sound of electrical stimulation? Failure of the internal device is an ever-present possibility for an implant recipient. How do you think this person would cope with such an event? Would this person opt to be reimplanted? What have you, as a professional about to enter the field, learned from this particular individual? What did you find remarkable or unique, about this particular individual?
