Partial deafness cochlear implantation in children.
OBJECTIVE Partial deafness cochlear implantation and electric-acoustic stimulation have proven to be a useful method of treating adults with a ski-slope type hearing loss. Good hearing preservation and speech perception outcomes have been reported. This study aims to assess partial deafness cochlear implantation in children. METHOD Nine children, ranging in age from 4.2 to 12 years, received ...
متن کاملSubjective benefit after partial deafness cochlear implantation.
Benefits after cochlear implantation are not limited to auditory gains, but also extend to improvement in physical, psychological, and social function. Cochlear implant (CI) eligibility criteria have broadened to now include a variety of patient groups. To clearly understand the complex change experienced by patients and their families, it is necessary to use subjective questionnaires for the i...
متن کاملDeafness in the developing world: the place of cochlear implantation.
INTRODUCTION This paper attempts to review changes in the lives of hearing-impaired patients within the developing world, brought about by globalisation and development. The paper also explores limitations to improved care and addresses the collective moral responsibility of developed nations. METHODS Analysis of literature. RESULTS Within developing nations, large populations have emerged ...
متن کاملMapping and cloning hereditary deafness genes.
In the past two years, considerable progress has been made in the mapping and cloning of human deafness genes. Highlights are the chromosomal localization of at least five genes for autosomal forms of non-syndromic deafness and, more recently, the cloning of an X-linked deafness gene, DFN3, and the Usher syndrome type IB gene. This last gene encodes a myosin-like protein and was identified as t...
متن کاملCochlear implantation improves localization ability in patients with unilateral deafness.
OBJECTIVES One of the major complaints of people with a single-sided deafness is the inability to localize sound sources. Evidence suggests that subjects with a hearing loss can benefit from the use of a cochlear implant (CI) in sound localization. This study aimed to determine the effect of CI use on localization ability in unilaterally deafened subjects. DESIGN Sixteen adult subjects with p...
