Predictive models for cochlear implantation in elderly candidates.
OBJECTIVE An aging American population carries a high prevalence of profound sensorineural hearing loss. We examined the performance of multichannel cochlear implant recipients in a large database of adult subjects. DESIGN Nonconcurrent prospective study of a national cohort with multivariate regression analysis of preoperative and postoperative performance variables in multichannel cochlear ...
متن کاملCOCHLEAR IMPLANTATION IN IRAN
Cochlear implantation has become an increasingly common procedure in the rehabilitation of selected cases of profound deafness.'

Sound is transformed into small electric currents which stimulate the auditory nerves in the cochlea and generate the hearing sensation. The nucleus cochlear implant is the result of more t...
متن کاملCochlear implantation in elderly: indication and results
Background There is a growing interest by clinical researchers on quality of life and outcomes of cochlear implant patients, particularly considering the extension of indication to the more elderly. This is especially related to the cost-benefit issues in patients were the benefit might be reduced by aging of the auditory system which is a more central process, together with general health prob...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of CT and MRI of Temporal Bone in Cochlear Implantation Candidates
Background Cochlear implantation is an approved treatment which can be used to treat severe to profound hearing loss. Imaging before cochlear implant surgery is very important in decision making and assessing the temporal bone anatomy for surgery. We aimed to assess the diagnostic value of high resolution CT scan (HRCT), and MRI of temporal bone in candidate pati...
متن کاملMolecular investigation in children candidates and submitted to cochlear implantation.
AIM Recent progresses in molecular biology have been made in the diagnosis of sensorineural hearing loss. The high prevalence of a connexin 26 gene mutation, and its easy identification have made the diagnosis possible. The most frequent gene mutation is called 35delG. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of 35delG mutation in children submitted to cochlear implantation who ...
