Superficial siderosis is a disease in which iron from hemoglobin is deposited in the central nervous system, resulting in conditions such as progressive sensorineural hearing loss, cerebellar ataxia, dementia, and pyramidal signs. A 30-year-old man with superficial siderosis received a cochlear implant in the left ear, which had shown complete hearing loss. Good auditory responses were obtained at 14 days after implantation. The postoperative average hearing level with the cochlear implant was 56.7 dB at 3 months and 55.0 dB at 6 months. However, the patient showed gradual hearing loss, and the dynamic range changed each time the electrode parameters were adjusted. To assess residual hearing ability, single-photon emission computed tomography was performed together with an assessment of electrical auditory brainstem response, which showed a good response and increased blood flow in both the temporal lobes. Based on this result, we asked the patient to continue using the cochlear implant to see whether a perception of speech response would be obtained. However, the patient discontinued using the cochlear implant because he could not hear satisfactorily. Hearing outcomes after cochlear implant surgery for patients with superficial siderosis are not necessarily good. Therefore, the possibility of unsatisfactory results should be fully explained before recommending this surgery to patients.

Unilateral Versus Bilateral Cochlear Implants in Adults: A Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study Across Multiple Hearing Domains.
Audiol Res
January 2025
Otolaryngology Unit, Department of Traslational Medicine and Neuroscience-DiBrain, University of Bari, 70124 Bari, Italy.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the subjective experiences of adults with different cochlear implant (CI) configurations-unilateral cochlear implant (UCI), bilateral cochlear implant (BCI), and bimodal stimulation (BM)-focusing on their perception of speech in quiet and noisy environments, music, environmental sounds, people's voices and tinnitus.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 130 adults who had undergone UCI, BCI, or BM was conducted. Participants completed a six-item online questionnaire, assessing difficulty levels and psychological impact across auditory domains, with responses measured on a 10-point scale.
Visual Reliance in Severe Hearing Loss: Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs) Study.

Unlabelled: Peripheral hearing loss is associated with the cross-modal re-organization of the auditory cortex, which can occur in both pre- and post-lingual deaf cases.
Background/objectives: Whether to rely on the visual cues in cases with severe hearing loss with adequate amplification is a matter of debate. So, this study aims to study visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in children with severe or profound HL, whether fitted with HAs or CIs.

Hearing loss in children can have a detrimental impact on their development, thus lowering the psychological well-being of parents. This study examined the amount of parental stress, learned helplessness, and perceived social support in mothers of children with hearing loss (MCHL) and mothers of typically developing children (MTDC), as well as the relationship between various possible contributing factors to parental stress such as learned helplessness and perceived social support. Three questionnaires measured parental stress (Parental Stress Scale; PSS), learned helplessness (Learned Helplessness Scale; LHS), and perceived social support (Perceived Social Support-Friends PSS-Fr and Perceived Social Support-Family PSS-Fa Scale) in 100 MCHL and 90 MTDC.

Purpose: Universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) programs using audiometric techniques alone are limited in ability to detect non-congenital childhood permanent hearing loss (PHL). In 2019, Ontario launched universal newborn screening (NBS) for PHL risk factors: congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) and 22 common variants in GJB2 and SLC26A4. Here we describe our experience with genetic risk factor screening.

Aims And Objectives: The study aimed to compare the auditory perception status of children from different socioeconomic backgrounds, specifically urban versus rural. It also examined the correlation between outcome measures and the frequency of auditory verbal therapy sessions attended, as well as the impact of continuous electric analog stimulation on the age of implantation.
Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out on 30 children who have received unilateral cochlear implantation in rural versus urban backgrounds.
