AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on parents' expectations before their children's cochlear implants and their experiences afterward, involving 27 families.
- Parents had high hopes for the outcomes, and most expectations were met, particularly in listening and environmental aspects.
- Fathers were found to have significantly higher expectations than mothers, and while most outcome experiences correlated positively, age factors showed no significant impact on these outcomes.
Article Abstract
To study parental pre-implant expectations and post-implant experiences of their children's cochlear implant outcomes. Parents of 27 children with cochlear implant participated in the survey. Study investigated and compared the pre-implant expectations and experiences of post-implant outcomes using ICF based questionnaire on items related to domains listening, communication, learning and applying knowledge, interpersonal interactions and relationships and environmental factors. Parental expectations of their children's cochlear implant outcomes were high and largely been met. Benefits with cochlear implant surpassed the expectations in the domains of listening and environmental factors. Positive high correlation was observed between all domains related to expectations. All domains related to experiences of CI outcomes except listening showed positive and significant correlation with each other. No correlation was observed between child variables; current age, age at implantation and implant age and any of the domains. With regards to expectations, fathers held significantly high expectations when compared to mothers. Parents demonstrate high pre-implant expectations and positive experiences post cochlear implantation across range of outcomes.

Exploring the Hearing Improvement and Parental Stress in Children with Hearing Loss Using Hearing Aids or Cochlear Implants.

This study aims to describe the stress levels experienced by parents of children with hearing loss who use conventional hearing aids or cochlear implants, and to assess the correlation between parental stress and the auditory skills acquired by the children. The study was conducted at the Policlinic "Gaetano Martino" in Messina, evaluating data from 42 pairs of parents of children using hearing aids or cochlear implants. Parents completed the LittlEARS Auditory Questionnaire (LEAQ) and the Parental Stress Scale (PSS) 18 months after the initial device (hearing aid or cochlear implant) had been activated.

Background: The aim of this study was to relate response patterns of electrocochleography (ECochG) recordings during cochlear implantation to pre- and postoperative hearing.
Methods: Thirty subjects with either flat (FA, n = 9) or sloping (SA, n = 21) audiograms before cochlear implantation were prospectively included. Real-time ECochG recordings were conducted via the cochlear implant.
