To determine the audiological and clinical results of cochlear implantation in children below age 12 years old with congenital acquired single-sided deafness.Observational, descriptive, transversal study.Speech reception thresholds, Cortical responses, Auditory Lateralization Test SSQ questionnaire.Children < implanted for or SSD.All SSD showed positive cortical responses. Positive were obtained following modalities: 0º, 45º 90º. With respect to Speech Test, results: 92% 100% recognition 48%...
Bilateral vestibulopathy is an important cause of imbalance that misdiagnosed. The clinical management patients with bilateral vestibular loss remains difficult as there no clear evidence for effective treatment. In this paper, we try to analyze the effect chronic electrical stimulation and adaptation system in humans when stimulating otolith organ a constant pulse train mitigate due dysfunction (BVD).We included 2 our study BVD according Criteria Consensus Classification Committee Bárány...
As the indications for cochlear implant have expanded to include younger patients and individuals with greater degrees of residual hearing, increasing emphasis has been placed on atraumatic surgery preservation structure. Here, a descriptive prospective randomized study was performed. It shown that hearing is possible 12 months postoperatively an perimodiolar flexible electrode array CI532® (Cochlear Ltd, Sydney, Australia). Residual preservation, considered as < 15 dB, obtained in 70%...
Cochlear implantation has a significant impact on patients' social life, performance of activities, and self-esteem. The objective this retrospective study was to assess the health-related quality life cochlear implant users aged under over 60 years by self-report using Glasgow Health Status Inventory Abbreviated Profile Hearing Aid Benefit. It observed that values increased very rapidly straight after regardless age. Bilateral showed better results in environments with background noise...
Nasal packing is routinely used in septal surgery to prevent postoperative bleeding.To demonstrate the possibility of transeptal suture as a safe and effective way avoid nasal improve efficiency.This prospective, descriptive, inferential cost study comprising 92 patients. Two randomized groups patients were analyzed, one with other suture.In group no patient experienced bleeding, statistically significant reduction pain headache was demonstrated. At same time, we improved efficiency by...
The radiological analysis following a cochlear implantation offers insight into the audiological outcomes of implant recipients. wrapping factor (WF) is most common measuring modiolar position and depth insertion an electrode array. New measurements like intracochlear index (ICPI) or homogeneity (HF) can offer more accurate information regarding electrode's position. We have also studied new method to calculate WF, by normalizing it with methodology (WFn).To analyze compare results ICPI, HF,...
Objective: To determine audiological and clinical results of cochlear implantation (CI) comparing two populations with single-sided deafness (SSD): post-lingually deaf children between 6 12 years age, adults, in order to evaluate the effect CI different age groups. Design: Retrospective case review. Setting: Tertiary clinic. Patients Method: Twenty-three twenty-one adult patients that were candidates for single-side included. In all cases we evaluate: Speech perception thresholds; disyllabic...
(1) Background. Patients with bilateral vestibular disease (BVD) experience oscillopsia a detriment to visual acuity (VA). This VA is driven mainly by the VOR that has two components: rotational and translational. can be tested using dynamic (DVA) on treadmill because both systems are activated. The aim of this study compare before after chronic electrical stimulation otolith organ. (2) Materials Method. Five patients suffering from dysfunction (BVD), previously implanted new implant...
Objective: Several studies have demonstrated the possibility to obtain vestibular potentials elicited with electrical stimulation from cochlear and implants. The objective of this study is analyze vestibular-evoked myogenic (VEMPs) obtained patients implanted vestibulo-cochlear implant. Material Methods: We compared two groups: in first group, four implant (CI) recipients present acoustic cVEMPs before CI surgery were included. In second three bilaterally absent bilateral dysfunction...
La hipoacusia representa un importante problema de salud. dificultad para oír y comunicarse es frustrante la persona, provocando aislamiento social baja autoestima, asociándose frecuentemente con depresión demencia en senectud. Hay muy pocas tecnologías el área sanitaria que se hayan desarrollado tan rápidamente como Implante Coclear. En éste artículo nos centraremos los aspectos más importantes, innovación tecnológica, las indicaciones técnica quirúrgica, no, aspecto educativo impacto...
