this study aimed to evaluate the effects of auditory-verbal rehabilitation on voice parameters after implantation with cochlear implants 2 and 5 months after rehabilitation and compare them with normal voice children (under 12 years of age). a perceptive and electroacoustic evaluation of voice was carried out through a digital analysis after implantation and rehabilitation. the study was perfor...

Cochlear implants have been an effective intervention for many profoundly deaf adults and children. Specifically, in prelingually deaf children, cochlear implants provide the first exposure to both environmental sounds and spoken language. After gaining access to sound and spoken language, many children using cochlear implants have been found to develop language with a developmental trajectory ...

In the fifty years since Békésy was awarded the Nobel Prize, cochlear physiology has blossomed. Many topics that are now current are things Békésy could not have imagined. In this review we start by describing progress in understanding the origin of cochlear gross potentials, particularly the cochlear microphonic, an area in which Békésy had extensive experience. We then review progress in area...

OBJECTIVES To examine the feasibility of imaging the fetal cochlea in the early second trimester. METHODS This study included 42 healthy fetuses of low-risk pregnancies between 14 and 16 weeks. The coronal head sections via sagittal and lateral acoustic windows were used for cochlear visualization. The coronal plane was directed across the thalamus, oriented to the petrous part of the tempora...

OBJECTIVES With rising quality of speech perception in cochlear implant users, the indication widens. Nowadays, cochlear implantation is reasonable even in vestibular schwannoma patients. Speech perception with a cochlear implant is in these patients as promising as in patients with sensorineural hearing loss. However, the impact of cochlear implantation on vertigo and tinnitus after removal of...

Hearing loss and meningitis were correlate in some aspects. Hearing loss is the situation that can be shown in cochlear or retrocochlear defects. Cochlear hearing loss is caused by inner or outer hair cell damage (however cochlear hearing loss has another causes, such as defect of arterial spiral ganglion, basilar and tectorial membrane) and retrocochlear hearing loss has neural origin and meni...

Mutations of SLC26A4 are among the most prevalent causes of hereditary deafness. Deafness in the corresponding mouse model, Slc26a4(-/-), results from an abnormally enlarged cochlear lumen. The goal of this study was to determine whether the cochlear enlargement originates with defective cochlear fluid transport or with a malfunction of fluid transport in the connected compartments, which are t...

The outcome of cochlear implantation in patients with deafness of prelingual onset is largely unpredictable due to high individual variability. This study evaluated speech perception performances in a group of 18 prelingually deafened subjects (aged 13-30 years) which was homogeneous with respect to duration of deafness, hearing aid use before cochlear implantation, mode of communication and ad...
