Background Cochlear implant surgery is an invasive procedure for patients with bilateral Sensorineural hearing loss and may cause some risks such as cochlear damage. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cochlear measures obtained by computed tomography (CT) scan in predicting depth of cochlear implant insertion. Materials and Methods This study was conducted in a retrospective and cross-se...

cochlear implantation is a method used for the treatment of patients with profound hearing loss. this procedure may the accompanied by some major or minor complications. we evaluated the surgical complications of cochlear implantation in fars province (south of iran). a total of 150 patients with cochlear implantation were enrolled in the present study. most of the patients were pre-lingual chi...

background: there always has been a question about the best age for cochlear implantation (ci) in prelingual deaf children. the age factor in the outcome of cochlear implantation in prelingual deaf children has been the subject of many studies. the aim of the present study was to find the effect of age at the time of implantation on hearing threshold of these children.   methods: one hundred an...

OBJECTIVE To explore the anomalies of the temporal bone found on radiologic examination, technical challenges in cochlear implantation, and audiologic benefit derived from cochlear implantation in a series of children with CHARGE association. DESIGN Case series report. SETTING Tertiary referral children's hospital pediatric cochlear implant program. PATIENTS Six children with CHARGE assoc...

Cochlear-Implantation (CI) primarily aims at improvement of speech perception and thereby quality life for hearing impaired patients. In many cases loss is accompanied by tinnitus, which might further increase the perceived handicap. This retrospective study evaluates impact tinnitus on adult cochlear-implant recipients.

BACKGROUND Cochlear implants (CI) for the rehabilitation of patients with profound or total bilateral sensorineural hypoacusis represent the initial use of electrical fields to provide audibility in cases where the use of sound amplifiers does not provide satisfactory results. AIMS To compare speech perception performance after cochlear implantation in children with connexin 26-associated dea...

OBJECTIVES Early cochlear implantation has been widely promoted for children who derive inadequate benefit from conventional acoustic amplification. Universal newborn hearing screening has led to earlier identification and intervention, including cochlear implantation in much of the world. The purpose of this study was to examine age and time to cochlear implantation and to understand the facto...

The outcome of cochlear implantation in patients with deafness of prelingual onset is largely unpredictable due to high individual variability. This study evaluated speech perception performances in a group of 18 prelingually deafened subjects (aged 13-30 years) which was homogeneous with respect to duration of deafness, hearing aid use before cochlear implantation, mode of communication and ad...

OBJECTIVES With rising quality of speech perception in cochlear implant users, the indication widens. Nowadays, cochlear implantation is reasonable even in vestibular schwannoma patients. Speech perception with a cochlear implant is in these patients as promising as in patients with sensorineural hearing loss. However, the impact of cochlear implantation on vertigo and tinnitus after removal of...
