Evidence-based practice in provision of amplification.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cochlear implants (CIs) successfully restore hearing in postlingually deaf adults, but in doing so impose a frequency-position function in the cochlea that may differ from the physiological one. PURPOSE:The CI-imposed frequency-position function is determined by the frequency allocation table programmed int...
