There are several syndromes in which both hearing and renal function are impaired. The two best known are branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome and Alport syndrome. These are reviewed along with several other rarer syndromes. BOR is especially important since it is likely to be first recognized by the otolaryngologist because of the hearing and branchial anomalies. It is important for the practicing otolaryngologist to recognize these disorders and to ensure that renal problems are being treated. In addition, the syndromes discussed here are all hereditary and referral to a clinical geneticist may be helpful to the individual and family.

Background: Cochlear implants (CIs) are neuroprosthetic devices which restore hearing in severe-to-profound hearing loss through electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Current CIs use an externally worn audio processor. A long-term goal in the field has been to develop a device in which all components are contained within a single implant.

The 22q11.2 deletion is a risk factor for multiple psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and also increases vulnerability to middle-ear problems that can cause hearing impairment. Up to 60% of deletion carriers experience hearing impairment and ~30% develop schizophrenia in adulthood.

The inner ear houses both hearing and balance sensory modalities. The hearing and balance organs consist of similar cell types, including sensory hair cells and associated supporting cells. Previously we showed that is required for maintaining supporting cell survival during cochlear maturation.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine factors that influence postoperative rehabilitation outcomes in children with cochlear implants, using a knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) framework.
Design: A total of 683 children with cochlear implants participated in this study. Hearing and speech assessments were conducted through face-to-face and/or telephone interviews, while parents' or guardians' KAP were assessed following detailed instructions provided beforehand.
