Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cochlear implant is the most successful neural prosthesis. It is used today by more than 1 million people from all over the world who, in this way, have regained their hearing function, being able to recognize up to 80% of speech in a noise-free environment.
Although important advances have been made in the development of cochlear implants, there are still many unanswered questions: Why is there such great variability in the outcomes among implanted children and adults? How could speech intelligibility in noise be improved?
The purpose of this Special Issue is to show the current state of knowledge in the field of the diagnosis and treatment of deafness to reveal the progress made in this field, such as the technological improvements brought to the cochlear implant, the ways of perfecting the surgical technique in order to preserve residual hearing, the progress made in deciphering the cognitive processes underlying speech understanding, as well as other progress made in terms of finding other hearing restoration treatments such as cell regeneration and gene therapy.
Also, studies on the rehabilitation of vestibular function are encouraged to be submitted.
We hope that this Special Issue will be a landmark in the literature regarding the current diagnosis possibilities and treatment options for deafness.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
