Objective IPM-based EEG measures could guide bilateral cochlear implant fitting

Evidence

The fNIRS tool may be particularly useful for longitudinal studies that track changes over time, so that the changes in brain function can be correlated with simultaneous changes in behavioural performance. In this way, new knowledge about functional organisation and how it relates to an individual’s ability to process language can be gained. For example, an fNIRS pre-implant test may, in the future, provide valuable prognostic information for clinicians and patients, and provide guidance for individual post-implant therapies designed to optimise outcomes. Routine clinical use of fNIRS is feasible due to its low-cost. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4309 (#expands, via linked claim)
