Introduction: The conventional evaluation of neural telemetry and impedance requires the use of the computer coupled to an interface, with software that provides visualization of the stimulus and response. Recently, a remote control (CR220) was launched in the market, that allows the performance of intraoperative tests with minimal instrumentation.
Objective: To evaluate the agreement of the impedance values and neural telemetry thresholds, and the time of performance in the conventional procedure and by the remote control.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare hearing thresholds and speech perception abilities between two age groups of patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss.
- Based on a sample of 59 patients, the younger group had better audiometric results and speech perception scores compared to the older group, indicating age-related differences in outcomes.
- Both groups performed well with cochlear implants, but the younger group showed significantly better results, particularly in higher frequency thresholds and speech perception testing.
Article Synopsis
- Recent studies indicate that cochlear implants can suppress tinnitus symptoms, often even in ears that did not receive the implant.
- In a study of 29 adults with profound hearing loss, 71% showed improvement in tinnitus perception after their cochlear implants were activated.
- Among patients with bilateral tinnitus, 86% experienced complete or significant relief in both ears following the procedure.
