Objectives: To investigate the preservation of residual hearing in subjects who received Nucleus Hybrid L24 cochlear implant. performance benefits up to one year post-implantation terms speech recognition, sound quality, and quality life. Design: Prospective, with sequential enrolment within-subject comparisons. Post-operative using a Freedom processor was compared that pre-operative aids. Study sample: Sixty-six adult hearing-impaired bilateral severe-to-profound high frequency loss....
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%...
To report residual hearing preservation outcomes in patients with low frequency hearing, after cochlear implant (CI) electrode insertion two types of arrays: one straight and other perimodiolar, when using intraoperative intracochlear electrocochleography (ECochG) during insertion.Prospective, randomized study.Tertiary referral otology center.Fifteen ranging from 33 to 54 years old (mean 51.19). They had been diagnosed a bilateral, profound sensorineural loss treated unilateral implant:...
Objectives: This study evaluates the design of a thin perimodiolar cochlear implant electrode array (CI532) and assesses insertion-related rotation fold-over.Methods: The consisted on model temporal bone insertion studies. Twenty insertions were studied, under four different surgical conditions in vitro, intracochlear disposition presence tip fold over recorded. Also, eight fresh human bones studied after two conditions: correct alignment during misaligned. These situations investigated...
Osteonecrosis of the jaws is a clinical entity described and linked to treatment with bisphosphonates in 2003.Its real incidence unknown it could increase due large number patients treated these drugs, its cumulative effect on bone.State art knowledge regarding etiopathogeny, course suitable treatments limited.Objectives: To study characteristics 44 bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis state their bone mineral metabolism: remodeling state, prevalence fractures, density study, assessment...
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...
To date, the burden and severity of full spectrum bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) symptoms has not yet been measured in a standardized manner. Since therapeutic interventions aiming to improve BVP are emerging, need for new assessment tool that encompasses specific aspects arises. Therefore, aim this study was develop multi-item Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) captures clinically important assesses its impact on daily life.The development Bilateral Vestibulopathy Questionnaire (BVQ)...
Background: The proximity of the electrode to modiolar wall may be interest investigate effect pitch discrimination. This research establishes relation between these factors and whether perimodiolar positions provide benefits regarding improved Methods: A prospective randomized study including 24 post-lingual deaf adults was performed. psychoacoustic done by using a platform. Radiological study, cone-beam computed tomography used assess post cochlear implantation electrodes’ position....
Objectives: A wide variety of intraoperative tests are available in cochlear implantation. However, no consensus exists on which constitute the minimum necessary battery. We assembled an international panel clinical experts to develop, refine, and vote upon a set core statements. Design: literature review was used identify currently field draft provisional For statement evaluation refinement, we modified Delphi structure. Multiple interactive rounds voting, evaluation, feedback were...
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...
