Cochlear implants for children with severe-to-profound hearing loss.
Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 4-month-old baby girl whose parents and 6-year-old brother have severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss is referred for consideration for cochlear implantation. Each of the baby’s parents had previously received a cochlear implant in adulthood, and her older brother had received a cochlear implant at 18 months of age. The family uses oral ...
متن کاملPrevalence, aetiology, and care of severe and profound hearing loss.
Severe and profound hearing loss (> 70 dB) were analysed in a retrospective study of 226 children, born between 1976 and 1985, and recruited from three French administrative departments. The prevalence was 0.54 per 1000 children under 9 years old, with no decrease over the study period. A hereditary origin was identified in 20.8% of cases and an infectious origin in 11.5%. Perinatal risk factor...
متن کاملFitting hearing aids in children with severe hearing loss.
Because of limited initial data about the hearing loss of children and the difficulties in getting an optimal prescription, every fitting has to incorporate a procedure verifying or validating the final fitting. Fitting hearing aids should be focused on optimal speech recognition, even in children with very severe or profound hearing loss. When the MTS test is used, it is possible to optimize t...
متن کاملSignal Processing for Severe-to-Profound Hearing Loss
Wide dynamic range compression has become the mostly used signal processing strategy for mild to moderate hearing losses although there is still some discussion going on regarding the details of such compression systems. Furthermore, sophisticated signal processing strategies such as automatic program selection, adaptive digital directional microphones and sophisticated noise canceling schemes ...
متن کاملStigma Regarding Hearing Loss and Hearing Aids
Stigma regarding hearing loss and hearing aids presents a great challenge, especially because dealing with its consequences in an appropriate and timely manner might be associated with better outcomes for the person with hearing loss, their caregivers, and society. A clear understanding of the stigma concept and its measurement in the area of hearing loss among older adults might advance knowle...
