In relation to cochlear implants, the authors review the various etiologies of deafness in infancy and childhood, either genetic or acquired in order to determine the criteria for advising implantation. They put forward the necessity of complete evaluation of all the auditory pathways involved to determine if a premature who has sustained hypoxicischemic encephalopathy and a full term baby have the same chance to benefit from cochlear implants after meningitis. Defined criteria are urgent needs for patients and parents.

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.
Audiol Res
January 2025
Neurology Department, Kafrelsheikh University Hospitals, Kafr Elsheikh 33516, Egypt.
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.
Parental Stress, Learned Helplessness, and Perceived Social Support in Mothers of Children with Hearing Loss and Mothers of Typically Developing Children.
Audiol Res

Department of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology, Kasturba Medical College Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal 576104, Karnataka, India.
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.

The Nijmegen cochlear implant questionnaire (NCIQ) is a quantifiable self-assessment health-related quality of life (HRQoL) tool used internationally to determine quality of life (QoL) in cochlear implant (CI) users and to evaluate the implant's subjective benefits. This study aimed to validate the Danish version of the questionnaire (DA-NCIQ) with a test-retest including 60 participants (30 CI users and 30 CI candidates). The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to evaluate the temporal stability of the participants' answers and the internal consistency of the questionnaire domains was determined using the Cronbach alpha in order to compare these results with the NCIQ's other language versions.
