Among the various cochlear implant systems approved by the Food and Drug Administration, current labeling for pediatric usage encompasses (1) bilateral profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss in children aged 9 to 24 months and bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in children older than 2 years; (2) use of appropriately fitted hearing aids for 3 months (this can be waived if there is evidence of ossification); and (3) demonstration of limited progress with auditory, speech, and language development. Pediatric guidelines require children to have significantly worse speech understanding before qualifying for cochlear implantation. The early years of life have been shown to be critical for speech and language development, and auditory deprivation is especially detrimental during this crucial time.Level of evidence: 2.

Purpose: Cochlear implantation (CI) surgery is essential for restoring hearing in individuals with severe sensorineural hearing loss. Accurate placement of the electrode within the cochlea is essential for successful auditory outcomes and minimizing complications. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the round window niche (RWN) alignment, its visibility during surgery, and the impact on surgical techniques and outcomes.

Objective: To compare characteristics between stroke populations with and without sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and assess the impact of SNHL on stroke outcome.
Methods: A retrospective study of patients admitted with stroke was carried out. Patients were divided into two groups, where group A were diagnosed with SNHL and group B were without SNHL.

Age-related hearing loss is the third most common health condition affecting elderly individuals. The relationship between lycopene in blood and sensorineural hearing loss in elderly adults has rarely been reported. This study aimed to elucidate the connection between serum lycopene levels and sensorineural hearing loss among elderly individuals.

Article Synopsis
- Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) results from impaired cochlear function and is influenced by genetics, noise exposure, medications, and aging.
- The role of inflammation, oxidative stress, and processes like apoptosis in SNHL development is acknowledged, but the detailed mechanisms are still unclear.
- Recent research highlights that endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the associated cellular responses are significant in the onset and progression of SNHL, potentially offering new avenues for treatment.
