Many patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) suffer from sensorineural hearing loss, and associated cochlear nerve compromise in NF2 patients makes auditory brainstem implant (ABI) an attractive treatment option. The long-term outcomes and benefits of the device are still being explored. A retrospective review was conducted for 11 ABI recipients at a single-institution tertiary center between November 2017 and August 2022.

In the present study, we investigated the round window (RW) and neighboring anatomical structures using temporal computed tomography (CT) which are important for cochlear implant (CI) electrodes. In this retrospective study, the temporal CT images of 112 adult patients (45 males and 67 females) were evaluated. We classified mastoid pneumatization, and measured RW diameter, RW-carotid canal (CC) distance, RW-facial nerve mastoid segment (FNMS) distance, RW-pyramidal eminence distance, RW-jugular bulb (JB) distance, and RW-internal acoustic canal (IAC) distance.

Objectives: Hearing loss is associated with increased cognitive decline and incident dementia in older adults. Given the rapidly rising incidence of dementia, management of modifiable risk factors such as hearing loss, is essential to mitigate the impact on the individual and society in general. In this narrative review, we discuss the current state-of-art with respect to studying cognitive function before and after cochlear implantation in the elderly population.

Purpose: Prelingual deaf children with cochlear implants show lower digit span test scores compared to normal-hearing peers, suggesting a working memory impairment. To pinpoint more precisely the subprocesses responsible for this impairment, we designed a sequence reproduction task with varying length (two to six stimuli), modality (auditory or visual), and compressibility (sequences with more or less regular patterns). Results on 22 school-age children with cochlear implants and 21 normal-hearing children revealed a deficit of children with cochlear implants only in the auditory modality.

Objective: Early diagnosis, intervention and consistent follow-up of hearing loss is of great importance in children, given the broad impact of untreated childhood hearing loss. Currently, no hearing-specific QOL proxy questionnaire exists for preschool children with hearing loss in the Dutch language. Therefore, the aim of this study was to translate and validate the Preschool HEAR-QL questionnaire into Dutch.
