Audiological performance in children with inner ear malformations before and after cochlear implantation: A cohort study of 274 patients

Clinical Otolaryngology Aug 08, 2020

Ozkan HB, CicekCinar B, Yucel E, et al. - In this investigation involving 274 patients, researchers sought to assess the auditory perception outcomes of cochlear implant (CI) in children with different types of inner ear malformations (IEMs) and compare them with CI users without IEMs. Participants in the study were CI users with and without IEMs as two groups (= 137, each). Progress in the IEMs group varied by type of ear anomaly. CI users with enlarged vestibular aqueduct had the highest scores, on the other hand, users with common cavity had the lowest. On the closed-set test, children with IEMs performed well while having trouble with the open-set test. Cochlear implantation results are favorable in IEM patients with cochlear nerve visible on MRI. The findings show that understanding of the anatomical variations during follow-up and rehabilitation programs is important. Each CI user should be assessed on the basis of his or her individual needs.
