cochlear implantFor patients with single-sided deafness and troublesome tinnitus, the possibility of cochlear implantation holds a prospect of addressing both hearing and tinnitus handicap, even in the presence of normal contralateral hearing. Studies in Europe are investigating this, and evidence is ...
The cochlear implant has been approved for children since 1990 and, because of its remarkable success in treating deafness, its indications have broadened since then. At present, the devices are implanted in children as young as 12 months, with some receiving implants at even younger ages in spe...
Single-sided deafness (SSD) is an extreme case with profound unilateral hearing loss in the poorer ear and regular hearing in the other ear. The aim of this study is to investigate the impairment in the daily life of SSD patients and the influence of cochlear implants (CI) on their health...
These abnormalities resolved with chronic implant use and contralateral aural preference emerged in both auditory cortices. These findings indicate that early implantation in young children with single sided deafness can rapidly restore bilateral auditory input to the cortex needed to improve binaural ...
Bone conduction implants can bring hearing to individuals with conductive or mixed hearing loss, or single-sided deafness. Find out how BONEBRIDGE can help you to enjoy hearing again. Discover More Bone Conduction Systems ADHEAR ADHEAR is a revolutionary new bone conduction device for people with ...
To assess improvements in sound source localization and speech understanding in complex listening environments after unilateral cochlear implantation for single-sided deafness (SSD). Nonrandomized, open, prospective case series. Tertiary referral center. Nine subjects with a unilateral cochlear implant (CI)...
To investigate the implications of duration of deafness in the rehabilitation of unilateral deafness utilizing cochlear implantation. From the ongoing prospective cochlear implantation in unilateral deafness study, we looked at five adults who received a cochlear implant for long-term unilateral deafness. ...
To determine the quality of life and cost consequences for deaf adults who received a cochlear implant.The data from 11 patients, post-lingual deaf adults who received cochlear implants from 1990 to 2002, underwent cost-utility analysis. The average age of the participants was 49.6 years. The ...
(CND). This schematic flow diagram represents a protocol for decision-making which treatment modalities and which side to implant in prelingual deafness with CND. When the expected CAP score is less than 1, auditory brainstem implant (ABI) or sequential ABI after cochlear implant (CI) are ...
Consistent and chronic cochlear implant use partially reverses cortical effects of single sided deafness in childrenPotentially neuroprotective effects of CI use were studied in 22 children with single sided deafness (SSD). Auditory-evoked EEG confirmed strengthened representation of the intact ear in the...
