AIM this paper aims to discuss the clinical and surgical findings of four ABI patients. MATERIALS AND METHOD Four patients diagnosed with bilateral schwannomas received auditory brainstem implants (ABI) and had one of their tumors resected in t...

متن کاملRelationship between Electrically Evoked Compound Action Potential Thresholds and Auditory, Language, and Speech Progress after Cochlear Implant Surgery
Introduction: Electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) is an objective auditory response that can be used in the programing of cochlear implants. The aims of this study were to monitor ECAP thresholds and auditory, language and speech progress for 6 months after cochlear implant surgery and to evaluate any relationship between them. Materials and Methods: Ten children with a m...
