Objectives: Modern cochlear implants (CIs) use varying-length electrode arrays inserted at varying insertion angles within variably sized cochleae. Thus, there exists an opportunity to enhance CI performance, particularly in postlinguistic adults, by optimizing the frequency-to-place allocation for electrical stimulation, thereby minimizing need central adaptation and plasticity. There has been interest applying Greenwood or Stakhovskaya et al. function (describing tonotopic map)...
Cochlear implantation produces remarkable results in postlingual deafness, although auditory outcomes vary. Electrocochleography (ECochG) has emerged as a valuable tool for assessing the cochlear-neural substrate and evaluating patient prognosis.
Objective To evaluate whether electrocochleography (ECochG)-guided pull-back of the perimodiolar electrode improves proximity, hearing preservation (HP), and cochlear implant performance. Study Design Prospective cohort study Setting Tertiary referral center. Patients 77 adult CI recipients with residual acoustic (low-frequency pure-tone average 125, 250, 500 Hz; LFPTA ≤80 dB HL) Intervention Unilateral implantation, comparing conventional insertion (N = 31) ECochG-guided 46). The guided...
Cochlear implant (CI) electrode array tip fold-overs occur at an increased rate with perimodiolar arrays, necessitating removal and re-insertion. The degree to which intra-operative correction of fold-over affects CI performance hearing preservation has not been previously reported. Retrospective chart review recipients receiving a slim from 2016 2023. Tertiary referral center. Low-frequency pure tone average (LFPTA) was defined as the thresholds 125, 250, 500 Hz. We candidacy LFPTA < 60 dB...
To assess whether postoperative speech recognition after cochlear implantation (CI) differ between age groups of 80 to 89 and 90+. Retrospective cohort study. Tertiary academic referral center. Older adult (80+ years old) bilateral sensorineural hearing loss patients undergoing CI. Therapeutic, Speech testing battery at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively. Self-reported balance vertigo symptoms were also assessed. A total 221 included in this study, with 171 cases ages 50 ≥90 old. 60.3% had an...
Abstract Objective To examine the association between preoperative comorbidities and cochlear implant speech outcomes. Study Design Retrospective cohort. Setting Tertiary referral center. Patients A total of 976 patients who underwent implantation (CI) January 2015 May 2022. Adult with follow-up, audiologic data, a standardized anesthesia note were included. Exposure Comorbidity Evaluation 27 (ACE-27) based on notes. Main Outcome Measures Postoperative change in consonant–nucleus–consonant...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the predictive value of intracochlear electrocochleography (ECochG) for identifying tip fold‐over during cochlear implantation (CI) using slim modiolar electrode (SME) array. Study Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Tertiary referral center. Methods From July 2022 to June 2023, 142 patients, including adults and children, underwent ECochG monitoring after SME placement. Tone‐bursts were presented from 250 Hz 2 kHz at 108 114 dB HL. A fast Fourier...
To validate electrocochleography (ECochG) between an auditory evoked potential (AEP) machine and established cochlear implant (CI) manufacturer ECochG system.
Background and Objectives: Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare nasal neoplasm which usually originates from the olfactory neuroepithelium in upper portion of cavity adjacent to cribriform plate.[1] [2] [3] Our objectives were analyze multicenter clinical data esthesioneuroblastoma patients inform on outcomes identify novel diagnostic prognostic biomarkers.
