The risk of vestibular function loss after intracochlear implantation.
Sixty patients were selected for cochlear implantation and 50 of them received an intracochlear implant (Nucleus). Vestibular function was evaluated before and after surgery using a caloric test and a velocity step test. Sixteen patients had normal or residual vestibular function before surgery, 11 bilateral and 5 unilateral; in 3 of the latter patients, the ear with vestibular areflexia was el...

OBJECTIVE To monitor cochlear function by extra- and intra-cochlear electrocochleography (ECoG) during and after cochlear implantation and thereby to enhance the understanding of changes in cochlear function following cochlear implantation surgery. METHODS ECoG responses to acoustic stimuli of 250, 500 and 1,000 Hz were recorded in 9 cochlear implant recipients with presurgical residual heari...
متن کاملAssessment of Cochlear Function during Cochlear Implantation by Extra- and Intracochlear Electrocochleography
Objective: The aims of this study were: (1) To investigate the correlation between electrophysiological changes during cochlear implantation and postoperative hearing loss, and (2) to detect the time points that electrophysiological changes occur during cochlear implantation. Material and Methods: Extra- and intracochlear electrocochleography (ECoG) were used to detect electrophysiological chan...
متن کاملThe effects of cochlear implantation on vestibular function in 1-4 years old children.
OBJECTIVES Although cochlear implants offer an effective hearing restoration option in children with severe to profound hearing loss, concern continues to exist regarding the possible effects of cochlear implantation on the vestibular system and balance. METHODS In a prospective cohort study, 27 children with bilateral profound hearing loss (all candidates for cochlear implantation) were eval...
متن کاملCompensation of Vestibular Function and Plasticity of Vestibular Nucleus after Unilateral Cochleostomy
Dizziness and vertigo frequently occur after cochlear implantation (CI) surgery, particularly during the early stages. It could recover over time but some of the patients suffered from delayed or sustained vestibular symptoms after CI. This study used rat animal models to investigate the effect of unilateral cochleostomy on the vestibular organs over time. Twenty-seven Sprague Dawley rats under...
