Does reverberation negatively impact musical sound quality for cochlear implant users?
This is the first study, to our knowledge, to objectively compare the effects of reverberation on musical sound quality ratings in CI users. These results suggest that musical sound quality for CI users can be improved by non-reverberant listening conditions and musical stimuli in which reverberation is removed.
TA-TAVI in patients with concomitant moderate or more severe MR provides results comparable with those of TA-TAVI in general. Concomitant MR had no significant impact on the short- and mid-term outcomes. A significant reduction in MR, TR and pulmonary hypertension was observed after TA-TAVI during short-term follow-up. Nonetheless, a relevant number of patients did not experience an improvement in NYHA class.
