Selection of diagnostic tests for children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is influenced by clinical suspicion. Testing results reported in the literature are similarly biased. We evaluate usefulness a comprehensive battery each child.Retrospective review.Tertiary care university hospital.A total 270 referred severe to profound SNHL between January 2002 and June 2009.Results following were reviewed: magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, renal ultrasound,...
The benefits of cochlear implantation for children with developmental delays (DD) often are unclear. We compared cognition, adaptive behavior, familial stress, and communication in without DD.Retrospective review.Two tertiary care pediatric hospitals.Two hundred four who underwent assessed before more than 1 year after implantation.The Mullen Scales Early Learning (MSEL), vineland behavior scales (VABS), Parental Stress Index, Preschool Language Scale.We developed a specific definition DD...
Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: To examine the characteristics of pediatric cochlear implant channel malfunction preceding device failure. Study Design: Retrospective review. Methods: All patients who underwent implantation at a tertiary academic medical center were reviewed regarding type, reason for replacement, time to and timing pattern faults in failed versus nonfailed devices. Results: Between 1993 2008, 264 implantations performed. With an average 894‐day follow‐up, replacement rate...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Infants with profound hearing loss are typically considered for cochlear implantation. Many insurance providers deny implantation to children developmental impairments because they have limited potential acquire verbal communication. We took advantage of differing coverage restrictions compare outcomes after or continued aid use. METHODS Young deafness were identified prospectively from 2 different states, Texas and California, followed longitudinally an average...
The objective of this study was to determine if intra-operative auditory monitoring is feasible during cochlear implantation and whether can be used as feedback the surgeon improve preservation residual hearing. This prospective non-randomised set in a paediatric tertiary referral hospital. Thirty eight consecutive patients undergoing who had measurable thresholds pre-operatively were divided into two cohorts. unmonitored cohort included first 22 monitored last 16 patients. main outcome...
Objective: To discuss persistent facial nerve stimulation (FNS) related to repeated electrostatic discharge (ESD) shock following cochlear implantation. Methods: Single case report with literature review. Results: FNS is a feared complication after implantation, occurring in approximately 7% of cases, most patients having anatomic abnormalities. The presented has no anatomical abnormalities but reported frequent environmental static shock. during the first 1 3 seconds processor attachment...
Objective Cochlear implant (CI) candidates undergo a preoperative workup including radiologic, audiologic, and neurologic testing to determine if they are for implantation. A percentage of these patients found have aplasia/hypoplasia the cochleovestibular nerve (CVN). Past literature has debated this population children benefit from CI. Method Retrospective review evaluating 17 with radiographically diagnosed CVN. Eight underwent cochlear implantation during period 2002 2009. The remaining 9...
