Sommario/riassunto

This provides a comprehensive account of a decades-long research effort to improve cochlear implants (CIs). Four main sections describe the major lines of investigation: design and evaluation of novel processing strategies; electrical stimulation on both sides with CIs; combined electric and acoustic stimulation of the auditory system; and representations of temporal information with CIs. Large advances were made in each of these areas, and readers will appreciate the significance of the research and how the different areas related to each other.
