Pitfalls in the management of monaural deafness.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE We report a patient who underwent cochlear implantation in an ear with long-term deafness, after an acoustic neuroma had been removed surgically from the other, hitherto good ear and the cochlear nerve had subsequently been resected to relieve severe tinnitus. METHOD Case report. RESULTS The patient could not tolerate the cochlear implant, because of a moderate headache due to the stimulation level necessary for environmental sound discrimination. CONCLUSION Cochlear implantation in patients with long-term deafness should be considered carefully, even if deafness is monaural.

Monaural Congenital Deafness Affects Aural Dominance and Degrades Binaural Processing
Cortical development extensively depends on sensory experience. Effects of congenital monaural and binaural deafness on cortical aural dominance and representation of binaural cues were investigated in the present study. We used an animal model that precisely mimics the clinical scenario of unilateral cochlear implantation in an individual with single-sided congenital deafness. Multiunit respon...
متن کاملP88: The Effect of Behavior Management Training on the Mother’s Anxiety of Children with Deafness
The birth or presence of a child with hearing defect provides unique and different challenges for family. However, in this situation all family members are hurt and their functions are impaired, but the mother, due to the traditional role of caregiver for these children to have more responsibility, more psychosocial problems may be encountered. The assumption is that the problems associated wit...
متن کاملContralateral routing of signals disrupts monaural level and spectral cues to sound localisation on the horizontal plane
OBJECTIVES Contra-lateral routing of signals (CROS) devices re-route sound between the deaf and hearing ears of unilaterally-deaf individuals. This rerouting would be expected to disrupt access to monaural level cues that can support monaural localisation in the horizontal plane. However, such a detrimental effect has not been confirmed by clinical studies of CROS use. The present study aimed t...
متن کاملCochlear implantation improves localization ability in patients with unilateral deafness.
OBJECTIVES One of the major complaints of people with a single-sided deafness is the inability to localize sound sources. Evidence suggests that subjects with a hearing loss can benefit from the use of a cochlear implant (CI) in sound localization. This study aimed to determine the effect of CI use on localization ability in unilaterally deafened subjects. DESIGN Sixteen adult subjects with p...
متن کاملEffect of Audiovisual Training on Monaural Spatial Hearing in Horizontal Plane
The article aims to test the hypothesis that audiovisual integration can improve spatial hearing in monaural conditions when interaural difference cues are not available. We trained one group of subjects with an audiovisual task, where a flash was presented in parallel with the sound and another group in an auditory task, where only sound from different spatial locations was presented. To check...
