this study aimed to evaluate the effects of auditory-verbal rehabilitation on voice parameters after implantation with cochlear implants 2 and 5 months after rehabilitation and compare them with normal voice children (under 12 years of age). a perceptive and electroacoustic evaluation of voice was carried out through a digital analysis after implantation and rehabilitation. the study was perfor...

Temporal bone fracture and blunt head trauma was once considered as contraindication for the surgery. Increasing numbers of successful cochlear implantation are being reported. However, the outcome of cochlear implantation in severe damaged brain is unclear. A multichannel cochlear implant was successfully implanted in a 33-year-old man who had both sensorineural deafness, left hemiplegia due t...

OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to explore the cost-utility of pediatric cochlear implantation, incorporating savings associated with education into the analysis. METHODS The costs of pediatric cochlear implantation were based on the full costs levied to purchasers, inclusive of complications and maintenance, by a large pediatric cochlear implant program in the United Kingdom. ...

CONTEXT Cochlear implantation is a surgical alternative to traditional amplification (hearing aids) that can facilitate spoken language development in young children with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). OBJECTIVE To prospectively assess spoken language acquisition following cochlear implantation in young children. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Prospective, longitud...

Background: Currently, an independent relationship between hearing loss and cognitive decline in older adults is suggested by large prospective studies. In general, cochlear implants improve hearing and the quality of life in severely to profoundly hearing impaired older persons. However, little is known about the effects of cochlear implantation on the cognitive evolution in this population. A...

BACKGROUND This study explored factors associated with speech recognition outcomes in postmeningitic deafness (PMD). The results of cochlear implantation may vary in children with PMD because of sequelae that extend beyond the auditory periphery. OBJECTIVE To determine which factors might be most determinative of outcome of cochlear implantation in children with PMD. DESIGN Retrospective ch...

Robot-assisted systems offer great potential for gentler and more precise cochlear implantation. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical workflow robotic implantation using system specifically developed minimally invasive, direct access. The involves experts from various disciplines requires training to ensure smooth safe procedure. protocol briefly summarizes histo...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether age at cochlear implantation or duration of implant use is associated with speech, language, and reading skills exhibited at age 8 to 9 years in children who underwent implantation by age 5 years. DESIGN Performance outcomes in speech perception, speech production, language, and reading were examined in terms of the age at which children first received a cochlear ...

Video head impulse test (v-HIT) is a quick and non-invasive to evaluate vestibular function compared the caloric test. The latter is, however, needed decide on optimal side for cochlear implantation avoid inducing bilateral are flexia. This study evaluates effectiveness of using v-HIT select implant (CI) candidates who require subsequent testing before implantation.
