Auditory Outcomes Following Cochlear Implantation in Children with Unilateral Hearing Loss.

Objective: Unilateral hearing loss (UHL) in children is associated with speech and language delays. Cochlear implantation (CI) is currently the only rehabilitative option that restores binaural hearing. This study aims to describe auditory outcomes in children who underwent CI for UHL and to determine the association between duration of hearing loss and auditory outcomes.

Cochlear Implantation Outcomes in Pediatric Unilateral Hearing Loss: Impact of Device Use and Direct Input.

Objective: To investigate the impact of daily cochlear implant (CI) use on speech perception outcomes among children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL).

Study Design: Multi-institutional retrospective case series of pediatric patients with UHL who underwent CI between 2018 to 2022.

Setting: Three tertiary children's hospitals.

Teledelivery of Aural Rehabilitation to Improve Cochlear Implant Outcomes.

Objective(s): This randomized controlled study evaluated the effectiveness of a Telehealth Aural Rehabilitation (TeleAR) training protocol to improve outcomes for adult cochlear implant (CI) users.

Methods: This was a multisite clinical study with participants randomized to either an AR treatment or active control group. The AR protocol consisted of auditory training (words, sentences, and speech tracking), informational counseling, and communication strategies.

Intraoperative Neural Response Telemetry and Auditory Outcomes in Pediatric Cochlear Implantation.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between intraoperative neural response telemetry (NRT) and postoperative auditory testing outcomes in children.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Tertiary-care academic center.

Utility of intraoperative neural response telemetry in pediatric cochlear implants.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between intraoperative neural response telemetry (NRT) and postoperative Threshold (T) and Comfort (C) levels and their correlation over time after cochlear implantation (CI).

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients less than 18 years of age who had CI with a Cochlear™ device and NRT at an academic center from 2010 to 2019. Data collected included demographics, extrapolated NRT threshold (tNRT) and slope of amplitude for electrodes 1, 6/7, 11/12, 16, and 22, and postoperative T and C levels at initial activation and 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year post-activation.
