Abstract

Abstract: Background: Cochlear implants are implantable device designed to mimic the function of a healthy inner ear. They replace the function of damaged sensory hair cells inside the inner ear to help provide clearer sound than what hearing aids can provide. The patients with cochlear implants benefit from cutting-edge sound processing technology that analyses the surrounding noise and automatically modifies the processors settings for optimum hearing. Advances in the programming of sound processing algorithm have improved the user’s abilities to hear sounds other than speech such as music. This systematic review aims to provide knowledge about the recent advances in cochlear implant instrumentation and mapping strategies. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, ProQuest and Psynet. Studies published between 2012 to 2023 were included if they focused on latest technologies on cochlear implant in terms of instrumentation and mapping strategies. Relevant articles were selected, and their quality was assessed using with Preferred reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA).
