Cochlear implants are the single greatest advancement of the late 20th century for the deaf and hearing impaired. Recent expanding guidelines as well as surgical techniques are discussed. Cochlear implantation is currently the only means to restoring partial hearing to patients with severe-to-profound sensorineural loss not aidable with conventional amplification. 相似文献

Cochlear implantation has revolutionized the treatment and prognosis of children with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who receive limited benefits from hearing aids. Children who receive cochlear implantation at young age, in particular before 2 years of age, can be expected to reach their normal age-equivalent developmental milestones and have higher chance to integrate into the mainstream educational settings. With the positive outcomes after cochlear implantation and the improvements in technology and surgical techniques, candidacy for cochlear implantation in children has been expanding to include hearing-impaired children with significant residual hearing, severe inner ear malformations, multiple handicaps such as mental retardation or visual impairment, and auditory neuropathy. Furthermore, there is growing interest in offering bilateral cochlear implantation to give children the benefits of binaural hearing. As the candidacy criteria expand, cochlear implant programs including preoperative evaluation, surgery, and habilitation have become more complex. Therefore, candidates should be selected prudently by multidisciplinary approach and cochlear implantation in children is much better to be provided by experienced cochlear implant team consisting of experts in relevant fields for the best results. 相似文献

Superficial siderosis (SS) of the central nervous system has been thought to be a rare condition that generates progressive hearing loss, ataxia, pyramidal signs, and dementia. The main cause of hearing loss by SS is thought to be neuronal. Because there is no histopathologic report of the human temporal bone in SS, there is a debate about the possibility of cochlear involvement. We present a 25-year-old man who was investigated for bilateral progressive sensorineural hearing loss and vestibular failure after head trauma. On brain MRI, SS of the central nervous system was detected. Distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) showed no response on both sides. However, integrity of the eighth nerve was proved by the electrical ABR test on the right side and the patient benefited significantly from cochlear implantation. The sensorineural hearing loss in SS seems to be related to cochlear damage as well as neuronal damage. So, cochlear implantation would be a hearing rehabilitation modality for the sensorineural hearing loss caused by SS. 相似文献

AbstractRefsum's disease is a rare disorder characterized by accumulation of phytanic acid in plasma and tissues. The main clinical features are retinitis pigmentosa, cerebellar ataxia and chronic polyneuropathy. Sensorineural hearing loss of varying severity can be an additional feature. This study reports our experience with two patients with Refsum's disease who underwent successful cochlear implantation. Both patients had good audiological outcomes after implantation and were overall very satisfied. Bilateral implantation should be considered with patients with severe dual sensory loss. One patient was implanted bilaterally the other unilaterally, primarily due to prolonged duration of unaided unilateral profound hearing loss. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Conclusions. Children with Waardenburg's syndrome (WS) derive significant benefit from cochlear implantation (CI) and do so to an extent that is comparable to that of the general population of implanted children. Although we report on a relatively small cohort, our data are useful for counseling the parents of children with WS considering CI. Objective. To present our experience with CI in patients with WS. Material and methods. A retrospective record review was conducted for five children who underwent CI in our department between 1993 and 2004. Results. Children with WS comprised 1.9% of our entire pediatric CI population: four girls had a familial history of WS and the phenotype of WS Type I, and one boy met the criteria for WS Type II. They were all diagnosed as having bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss 4–24 weeks after birth. Rehabilitation was initiated immediately and included bilateral fitting of hearing aids and intensive speech and language therapy. Otoscopic and temporal bone high-resolution CT findings were normal in all patients. At surgery, all children were found to have a patent cochlea, and the electrodes were implanted into the scala tympani without difficulty. After 1.3–10.2 years of implant use all children achieved open-set recognition of 2-syllable words, with an average score of 81%. Four of the 5 children achieved open-set recognition of monosyllabic words (average score 40%) and 3 achieved open-set recognition of words in sentences (average score 81%). 相似文献

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to correlate implant performance in cochlear otosclerosis to 1) matched control samples, 2) severity of otic capsule involvement, 3) prior ipsilateral surgery, and 4) programming issues. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case controlled study. METHODS: Study cohort comprised 30 individuals. Diagnosis was based on prior ear surgery (stapedectomy [n = 18] or fenestration [n = 2]) and/or pathognomonic radiological findings. High-resolution computed tomography images of the temporal bones were assessed by two radiologists and graded (range, 0-3) for the extent of otosclerosis. Operative records were reviewed. Performance, programming visits, and the number of electrode deactivations at 6 months and at 1 year after implantation were determined for the individuals with otosclerosis and compared with a group of matched control subjects. A within-group comparison correlating severity of otosclerosis to the above was carried out. RESULTS: Implant performance in individuals with cochlear otosclerosis was not significantly different from those without. Previous surgery on the side of implantation did not alter performance. Programming difficulty as reflected in the number of visits and electrode deactivation for sound quality reasons were comparable. Deactivation for facial nerve stimulation occurred exclusively in otosclerotics with the most severe radiological disease (grade 3) and was only with non-modiolar hugging electrodes (n = 5). There was no observed difference between the radiological extent of otosclerosis and implant performance. CONCLUSION: Individuals with severe otosclerosis considering cochlear implantation can be counseled to expect similar benefit to those without, regardless of whether prior surgery occurred on the side of implantation or of severity of otic capsule involvement. There is a significant risk of facial nerve stimulation in otosclerotics with grade 3 disease. 相似文献

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this study was to examine the anatomical, audiological, and surgical factors that can affect the hearing outcome in Pendred syndrome cochlear implant recipients. Patients with Pendred syndrome represent challenging cochlear implant candidates, combining goiter, severe-to-profound hearing loss, and inner-ear dysplasias. The hearing outcome and further relevant parameters in such patients have not been adequately evaluated yet.Material and methodsRetrospective study in a tertiary referral cochlear implant centre. Data of patients with Pendred syndrome, who had undergone cochlear implantation in the 10-year period 1999–2008, were evaluated.ResultsFive cochlear implant recipients with Pendred syndrome were identified, four unilateral and one bilateral. The average postoperative follow-up duration for these patients was 4.8 years. Enlarged vestibular aqueduct and Mondini dysplasia were the most common anatomical findings. Although these anatomical variances did not affect the electrode insertion, they prolonged the duration of the surgery. Cerebrospinal fluid gusher was the most common intraoperative complication. All patients enjoyed satisfactory hearing rehabilitation.DiscussionCochlear implantation is the proper method for optimal hearing rehabilitation in patients with Pendred syndrome. Although the precise pathogenetic mechanism and the genetic background of deafness in Pendred syndrome have not been completely understood, the preexisting hearing experience represents a positive factor for satisfying hearing outcome. The inner-ear malformations can cause mild surgical difficulties and extended surgery duration. The cochlear implant surgeon should be aware of these difficulties to avoid complications. 相似文献

Implants in children of the Nucleus 22-channel system have recently been approved in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Several questions still remains, however, concerning patient selection. This paper presents a statistical method of reporting results and its application to two populations of cochlear implant candidates: congenitally deaf children, and profoundly deaf children with meningitis as the cause of their deafness. It has been suggested that as these two groups may have significantly lower performance than other populations, it may not be appropriate to select them as implant candidates. The statistical method used aggregated single-subject, repeated measures data to reach conclusions on performance. Findings for congenitally deaf subjects evidenced significant improvements over preoperative performance. Results for post-meningitic children showed no significant difference in overall performance compared to non-meningitic children. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: With the application of universal newborn hearing screening programs, a large pool of newly identified deaf infants has been identified. The benefits of early intervention with cochlear implants (CI) is being explored. Mounting evidence suggests that age at implantation is a strong predictor of language outcomes. However, new behavioral procedures are needed to measure speech and language skills during infancy. Also, procedures are needed to analyze the speech input to young CI recipients. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort-sequential. METHODS: Thirteen infants with profound hearing loss who were implanted between the ages of 6 to 12 months of age participated in this study. Eight participated in two new behavioral methodologies: 1) the visual habituation procedure to assess their discrimination of speech sounds; 2) the preferential looking paradigm to assess their ability to learn associations between speech sounds and objects. Older implanted infants and normal-hearing infants were also tested for comparison. The pitch of mothers' speech to infants was analyzed. RESULTS: Patterns of looking times for the very early implanted infants were similar to those of normal hearing infants. Mothers' speech to infants with CIs was similar in pitch to normal-hearing infants who had the same duration of experience with sounds. CONCLUSIONS: No surgical or anesthetic complications occurred in this group of infants, and the pattern of listening skill development mirrors that seen in normal-hearing infants. Mothers adjust their speech to suit the listening experience of their infants. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the results obtained in a group of implanted otosclerotic patients with a group of cochlear implant (CI) patients not affected by otosclerosis. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case review. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Nine patients affected by profound sensorineural hearing loss caused by otosclerosis and nine patients affected by profound sensorineural hearing loss not caused by otosclerosis were evaluated. INTERVENTION: Cochlear implantation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preoperative imaging, intraoperative findings, postoperative facial nerve stimulation, and speech perception performance measures were performed and the data analyzed. RESULTS: Otosclerosis patients showed signs of cochlear ossification both on high-resolution computed tomography scans and intraoperatively. The incidence of facial nerve stimulation was higher in the otosclerosis group, three out of nine, and was generally related to the use of electrical stimulation from the Nucleus 22 cochlear implant. Psychophysical and speech perception measures did not show significant differences between the two groups, despite some otosclerosis patients showing increased electrical thresholds and comfort levels and slightly poorer speech perception performance scores. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with otosclerosis who have progressed to profound hearing loss derive significant benefit from cochlear implants; however, an increased risk of cochlear ossification and facial nerve stimulation has to be taken in account during preoperative counseling. The advance in imaging techniques, CI technology and the possibility to stimulate precise regions of the cochlea with lower intensities make it possible for the surgeons and audiologists to readily and successfully manage these complications as they arise. 相似文献

The use of cochlear implantation to treat patients with inner ear malformations such as Mondini dysplasia has been increasingly successful. Until now, conventional hearing aids in these patients have not performed well. Consequently, the hearing problem for patients with this condition has been somewhat improved with the use of cochlear implants. Various results of cochlear implantation have been reported in these patients so far. This is a report of 5 patients with Mondini malformation who have undergone cochlear implant surgery. 相似文献
