Hearing Rehabilitation through Bone-Conducted Sound Stimulation: Preliminary Results.

 The bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) is a bone conduction system that transmits the sound directly to the inner ear by surpassing the skin impedance and the subcutaneous tissue. It is indicated for patients with mixed, conductive and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss who did not benefit from conventional hearing aids (HAs). Although the benefits from BAHA are well demonstrated internationally, this field still lacks studies in Brazil.

Analysis of electrically evoked compound action potential of the auditory nerve in children with bilateral cochlear implants.

Introduction: The cochlear implant device has the capacity to measure the electrically evoked compound action potential of the auditory nerve. The neural response telemetry is used in order to measure the electrically evoked compound action potential of the auditory nerve.

Objective: To analyze the electrically evoked compound action potential, through the neural response telemetry, in children with bilateral cochlear implants.

Hearing rehabilitation in cerebral palsy: development of language and hearing after cochlear implantation.

Introduction: Auditory rehabilitation in children with bilateral severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss with cochlear implant has been developed in recent decades; however, the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy still remains a challenge to otolaryngology and speech therapy professionals.

Objective: To verify the effectiveness of cochlear implants in the development of auditory and language skills in children with cerebral palsy.

Methods: A prospective analytical study.
