Objective: To evaluate cochlear implant speech perception among patients with sporadic inner ear schwannoma who underwent ipsilateral implantation.
Study Design: Retrospective multi-institutional cohort study.
Setting: Eleven tertiary academic medical centers across Germany, Denmark, and the United States.
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be useful in detecting labyrinthitis and thereby predicting the development of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in adults with central nervous system (CNS) infections. We therefore investigated the coherence between brain MRI and SNHL among adults with CNS infections.
Methods: Twenty-eight patients with bacterial or viral meningitis, viral encephalitis, or Lyme neuroborreliosis, who had a brain MRI during the acute disease and pure-tone audiometry at follow-up, were included.
Article Synopsis
- Over the past two decades, there has been a growing focus on diagnosing and managing inner ear schwannomas, especially regarding hearing rehabilitation through cochlear implants, but the terminology used to classify these tumors has been inconsistent and complex.
- At the Ninth Quadrennial Conference in May 2023 in Bergen, Norway, experts reached a consensus to standardize terminology, ultimately agreeing on the term "inner ear schwannoma (IES)" to clearly describe tumors affecting the eighth nerve in the cochlea, vestibule, or semicircular canals.
- The newly established classifications break down these tumors into three complexity levels: low (intravestibular, intracochlear), intermediate (with internal
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) by measuring cochlear function in patients diagnosed with LNB.
- Researchers used Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) and Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA3) to assess hearing at admission, during treatment, and after discharge.
- Results showed that most patients experienced improvement in low to mid-frequency hearing, but there was a decrease in high-frequency hearing, indicating that LNB may cause both temporary and lasting auditory issues.
Minimum intraoperative testing battery for cochlear implantation: the international practice trend.

Purpose: In cochlear implantation (CI) surgery, there are a wide variety of intraoperative tests available. However, no clear guide exists on which tests must be performed as the minimum intraoperative testing battery. Toward this end, we studied the usage patterns, recommendations, and attitudes of practitioners toward intraoperative testing.
