Objective: In auditory neuropathy (AN) a dyssynchrony in the nerve conduction of the auditory nerve fibers is observed. Typically, patients with AN exhibit moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss, and treatment using cochlear implants (CIs) or hearing aids should be performed as early as possible for a better hearing rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the satisfaction level of patients with AN spectrum disorder treated using CIs. The Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life questionnaire was selected to evaluate 10 patients with AN treated using CIs.
Materials And Methods: Clinical study of patients with AN spectrum disorder submitted to CI. A retrospective data analysis, genetic and clinical evaluation in a tertiary referral center was done.
Results: The means of the subscales for positive effects, services and costs, negative factors, and personal image were 6.15, 4.6, 3.26, and 3.33, respectively.
Conclusions: Patients with AN treated using CIs consider themselves satisfied.

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is an auditory dysfunction disorder characterized by impaired speech comprehension. Its etiology is complex and can be broadly categorized into genetic and non-genetic factors. mutation is identified as a causative factor in ANSD.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the relationships between auditory processing, speech discrimination, and listening and communication abilities in children diagnosed with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) compared to those with normal hearing.
Methods: This was a case-control study involving seventeen participants with a diagnosis of ANSD who used spoken language as their primary mode of communication and wore hearing aids or were unaided and 21 normally hearing controls. All underwent a battery of behavioural measures of hearing, speech perception and auditory processing skills.

Background: Non-isolated auditory neuropathy (AN), or syndromic AN, is marked by AN along with additional systemic manifestations. The diagnostic process is challenging due to its varied symptoms and overlap with other syndromes. This study focuses on two mitochondrial function-related genes which result in non-isolated AN, FDXR and TWNK, providing a summary and enrichment analysis of genes associated with non-isolated AN to elucidate the genotype-phenotype correlation and underlying mechanisms.
