Article Synopsis
- This study explores the outcomes and management of pediatric auditory brainstem implantation (ABI) for children with severe inner ear malformations, aiming to unify clinical practices and address current challenges.
- A systematic review of relevant findings from the Third International Pediatric ABI Symposium analyzed data from multiple countries, highlighting trends in auditory outcomes, surgical approaches, and rehabilitation strategies.
- Key conclusions emphasize the need for standardized guidelines and improved collaboration among healthcare professionals to enhance patient outcomes and guide future research in this specialized field.
The objective of this research was to test whether efficient tinnitus suppression could be achieved by electrical stimulation of the single most basal electrode contact of a cochlear implant. This approach simulates the effects of electrical stimulation using a round-window electrode. The study was performed in 10 adult cochlear implant patients showing complete or almost complete tinnitus suppression during electrical stimulation with their standard fitting-MAP.

Several research groups are currently developing and investigating vestibular implants to treat BVP. The goal was to identify how many patients can be considered eligible for vestibular implantation.

Through informal discussions, a panel of experts organizing international conferences came up with this guide, which includes a flowchart, checklist, and detailed discussions of each step. Subsequently, additional specialists were invited to evaluate this synopsis and provide their input.

Despite what literature reports state, no signs of vestibular co-stimulation could be observed.
Results: In this case report, it was described how a woman, who previously underwent a neurectomy of the left vestibular nerve and suffers from bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP), reported improved balance whenever her CI on the left was stimulating.
