Cognitive outcomes and familial stress after cochlear implantation in deaf children with and without developmental delays.

Objective: The benefits of cochlear implantation for children with developmental delays (DD) often are unclear. We compared cognition, adaptive behavior, familial stress, and communication in children with and without DD.

Study Design: Retrospective review.

Recovery from cisplatin-induced ototoxicity: a case report and review.

We present a pediatric case report of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity with subsequent recovery. The patient experienced tinnitus and fluctuating mild high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) with a concomitant decrease in distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE). There was recovery of hearing loss and return of DPOAE at 1 year after completion of cisplatin therapy.
