多通道人工耳蜗在语前聋儿童及青少年中的应用

目的 通过对植入人工耳蜗的语前聋儿童和青少年的听力和语言能力的评估,探讨我国儿童在使用人工耳蜗后的听力和言语能力发展规律及影响因素。方法 ２５例行人工耳蜗植入的语前聋儿童及青少年患者参与本组测试。选用《聋儿听觉言语康复评估方法》作为测试材料,分别进行声音,言语声和环境声的辨别,数词,单字词,双字词,３字词,韵母,声母,声调,封闭项列短句的识别,开放项列字词和开放项列短句识别,语言清晰度,模仿句长,     

双侧人工耳蜗植入患者早期言语识别率的特点

目的 通过对两例双侧人工耳蜗植入患者早期言语识别率的分析,探讨双侧人工耳蜗植入对言语识别率的影响及中枢对双侧信号的处理机制。方法 2例先天性聋的双恻人工耳蜗植入的患儿参与测试。第二次植入术后一个月开机时,分别测定双耳、左耳、右耳对数字、单宇词、双字词的言语识别率。结果 新近植入侧单独开机时,各种方法下的言语识别率均为零。分别采用数字,单字词、双字词测试获得的言语识别率各不相同,其差异有显著性(P<0.01)。双侧同时开机可以明显提高患儿对双字词的的识别率,但对数字和单字词的影响不大。在对1例患儿不同时期的言语识别率的观察中,随着双侧人工耳蜗使用时间的延长,无论先植入耳、后植入耳及双耳的言语识别率均有所提高。结论 对数字、单字词、双字词的中枢识别机制有所不同,每一种单独方法都不能完整反映受试者的实际言语听觉能力。证实了双侧人工耳蜗植入术可以明显提高患者的言语识别率;接受双侧人工耳蜗植入术的患者双耳听力效应的重建需要一个重新学习和适应的过程。而耳蜗植入后听力训练则在其中起着极为重要的作用。     

一例神经纤维瘤患者植入人工耳蜗的效果观察

低年龄段语前聋儿童人工耳蜗植入后汉语声调识别变化的分析

目的:探讨低年龄段经人工耳蜗植入的语前聋儿童经过开机一段时间后声调识别的变化特点。方法:选择29例已经接受人工耳蜗植入的低年龄语前聋儿童,按植入时年龄分为2组,即A组:3.0~4.5岁,B组:5.0~6.5岁,植入后平均开机时间为1.5~2.0年。采用聋康系统的《聋儿听觉言语康复评估词表》中主要反映声调识别的相应评估内容进行封闭项测试。结果:A组:同音单音节声调识别率为(63.00±16.75)%,双音节声调识别率为(75.60±11.18)%,单音节词识别率为(72.38±11.39)%。B组:同音单音节声调识别率为(49.46±13.91)%,双音节声调识别为(64.71±9.64)%,单音节词识别率为(55.71±8.59)%。所有正确识别率结果均大于机会水平。人工耳蜗植入后不同年龄组患儿有关声调识别的三项测试内容,低年龄组患儿均好于高年龄组,结果均差异有统计学意义。结论:对于语前聋行人工耳蜗植入的低年龄儿童,植入时年龄仍是影响植入后声调识别的重要因素之一,而在更能反映汉语声、韵、调特点的单音节词中差异更为明显,因此植入年龄是术后汉语学习的重要影响因素之一。     

A follow-up study of long-term results after cochlear implantation in children and adolescents

The time course of speech development in children after cochlear implantation may extend over many years, thus making long-term studies necessary to evaluate any outcome. We report our long-term results after cochlear implantation in children and adolescents. Mean follow-up was 28 months, ranging from 1 to 5 years. After at least 1 year of experience all children were found to benefit from their cochlear implants. The majority of children scored above chance in speech identifcation tasks requiring closed set word and sentence understanding). At the 4-year interval, all children tested including prelingually deaf children had developed open set sentence understanding. The most relevant factor accounting for differences in the results was the duration of implant use in all groups. Even beyond 3 years the results continued to improve. Peri- or postlinguallly deafened children tended to have favorable results. For prelingually deaf children, duration of deafness and age at implantation were correlated negatively with the results.     

Role of neck ultrasound during follow-up care of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas

Cantonese language rehabilitation in 28 prelingually deaf children who underwent cochlear implantation was evaluated. All patients were implanted with multichannel devices and the operations went smoothly. They all had improved scores on audiological assessments and speech perception tests. The speech evaluation tests included the recognition of sounds, vowels, consonants and tone. Sentence recognition and story comprehension were both improved after training for 2 years. Cochlear implantation is a useful measure for the speech rehabilitation of prelingually profound deaf children when hearing aids are of no benefit. The multichannel implant device is of clinical significance in the rehabilitation of those patients using tonal language.

Speech perception and speech intelligibility in children after cochlear implantation

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term speech perception and speech intelligibility of congenitally and prelingually deaf children after cochlear implantation. It was a longitudinal study following 63 congenitally or prelingually deaf children up to 5 years after implantation. They each received a nucleus multichannel cochlear implant before they were 10 years old. METHODS: Perception is evaluated using the Test for the Evaluation of Voice Perception and Production (TEPP) and concerns closed- and open-set word and sentence perception without lip-reading. The intelligibility is classified according to the Speech Intelligibility Rating (SIR). The evaluations have been made every 3 months for 1 year, then at 18 months, 2 years, 3 years and 5 years after the cochlear implantation. RESULTS: After 5 years of implantation, the median percentage of closed-words speech perception (CSW) is 95.5%-93.67% for closed-sentence speech perception (CSS) and 76.3% for open-sentence speech perception (OSS); the median Speech Intelligibility Rating is 3.83. CONCLUSIONS: Congenitally and prelingually deaf children who receive cochlear implant before the age of 10 years develop speech perception and speech intelligibility abilities. The closed-set perception progresses quickly and seems to reaching a plateau at 5 years post implantation. The improvement of open-sentence perception is not significant until the first year post implantation. The speech intelligibility improves regularly the five first year post implantation.

Performance of prelingually and postlingually deaf patients using single-channel or multichanel cochlear implants

The auditory and aided lipreading performance of 8 prelingually and 11 postlingually deaf patients who had received a single-channel or multichannel cochlear implant was evaluated during 2 years of follow-up. Although all the patients improved on both closed-set pattern recognition and speech drimination tests and on a Continouous Discourse Tracking task, the most significant improvement was observed in the postlingually deaf patients who were using a multichannel implant. These patients were the only ones to achieve open-set speech recognition in the auditory-only condition. Only small differences were found between prelingually deaf patients who were using a single-channel system and those who were using a multichannel system. The users' evaluations, obtained by means of a questionnaire, were generally positive in all patients. Based on the study results, the authors concluded that it is feasible to use cochlear implants in highly motivated prelingaully deaf patients who have learned to use oral-aural communication.     

Speech Perception Performance in Prelingually Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants

The goals of this study were to report on mean values of speech perception performance in prelingually deaf children implanted with a Combi 40/40+ cochlear implant. A total of 31 patients were included in the study. The time span ranged over 3 years, during which time the Evaluation of Auditory Responses to Speech (EARS) test battery was used with the children. The EARS battery contains four measures of closed-set speech perception and three open-set tests. The mean test results exhibited steady improvement on all parts of the EARS test battery, even up to 3 years post-implantation. The preoperative scores for the Listening Progress Profile (LiP) were 4%, rising to 93% at 36 months post-implantation. Results for the open-set testing measures were most encouraging, with some children reaching fairly high levels of speech perception, receiving scores as high as 100% by the 36-month evaluation. The congenitally and prelingually deaf children in our study showed continuous improvement in both closed and open set speech perception following cochlear implantation, although variability in individual performance among the children was noted.     

Age at implantation: its importance in pediatric cochlear implantation

OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of age at implantation on speech perception and speech intelligibility following pediatric cochlear implantation. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study was undertaken on a consecutive group of 126 congenital and prelingually deaf children up to 4 years after implantation. The study group was confined to prelingually deaf children less than 7 years of age at the time of implantation. All had implantation with the same multichannel cochlear implant system. No child was lost to follow-up, and there were no exclusions from the study. METHODS: The Iowa Matrix Closed Set Sentence test, connected discourse tracking, categories of auditory performance, and speech intelligibility rating were used to assess the speech perception (closed and open set) and speech intelligibility of the children with implants. Regression analysis and Spearman rank correlation coefficients were used to assess the correlation between the outcome measures with age at implantation. The setting was a tertiary referral pediatric cochlear implant center in the United Kingdom. RESULTS: Age at implantation positively correlated with preimplantation assessment performance and with most of the outcome measures up to 24 months following implantation. However, at the 3-and 4-year intervals following implantation, age at implantation was found to be a strong negative predictor of all the outcomes studied (correlation coefficients ranging from -0.44 to -0.58, all statistically significant [P<.05]). CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study provide strong evidence that prelingually deaf children should receive implants as early as possible to facilitate the later development of speech perception skills and speech intelligibility and thus maximize the health gain from the intervention. However, because of the wide variation in individual outcomes, age alone should not be used as a criterion to decide implant candidacy.
