Introduction: Cochlear implantation (CI) is now regarded as a standard treatment for children with severe to profound sensor neural hearing loss. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the round window approach (RWA) and standard cochleostomy approach (SCA) in the preservation of residual hearing after CI in pediatric patients. Materials and Methods: This double-blind ran...

conclusions this study revealed that the type of hearing loss, presence in the rehabilitation program, and the age of cochlear implantation can be major prognostic factors of the response to the treatment, then the country’s health policy makers and health planners must executively take into account the infants’ hearing screening program during the first 6 month of age. results the mean and the...

Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) can provide useful auditory perception and language development in deaf children who are not able to use a cochlear implant (CI). We prospectively followed up a consecutive group of 64 deaf children up to 12 years following ABI surgery. The etiology of deafness in these children was: cochlear nerve aplasia in 49, auditory neuropathy in 1, cochlear malformation...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of cochlear implantation in young children in relation to the age at implantation. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective longitudinal and cross-sectional analysis of pediatric cochlear implant patients. PATIENTS All children with congenital deafness who underwent implantation before the age of 6 years (n = 48 for the longitudinal analysis and n = 70 for the cross-se...
