简介:目的评估语前聋人工耳蜗植入患者的听觉言语康复效果,分析康复效果的相关影响因素。方法采用听觉行为分级标准(categoriesofauditoryperformance,CAP)和言语可懂度分级标准(speechintelligibilityrating,SIR),对50例语前聋人工耳蜗植入患者术后1年的听觉能力和言语能力进行分级评估;分析CAP和SIR结果与植入年龄、性别、侧别、术前助听时间、术后配戴方式、耳蜗是否畸形、康复模式、性格、康复时间等9个因素的关系。结果植入年龄、术前助听时间、康复模式、性格、耳蜗畸形、康复时间对CAP有显著影响;植入年龄、术前助听时间、康复模式、康复时间、性格对SIR有显著影响;性别、术后配戴方式、侧别对CAP和SIR均无显著影响。结论术前及早进行听力补偿及康复训练,有利于术后听觉言语能力的提高;家庭参与及教养方式对患儿康复效果有很大影响。

简介:AbstractBackground:Meniere’s disease (MD) is an idiopathic disorder of the inner ear, which manifests as cochleo-vestibular dysfunction. Hearing loss will progress to a profound levelin a subset of patients with MD, and vestibular interventions can independently cause loss of hearing. The aim of this study was to systematically review the published literature describing the safety and efficacy of CI in patients with MD.Materials and methods:A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance PRISMA guidelines to identify articles that assessed at least one functional outcome in patients with MD who underwent CI. Demographic information, disease history, MD symptoms, outcomes measures, and complications related to CI were extracted from included studies.Results:In total, 17 studies were included, and 182 patients with MD underwent CI. The weighted-mean age was 61.9 years (range 27-85). Study objective and methodology varied, and there was significant heterogeneity in CI outcome measures reported. In total, 179 (98.3%) of 182 patients reported objective improvements in at least one hearing metric after CI. A total of 69 patients (37.9%) reported vertigo or severe dizziness prior to CI, compared to 22 patients (15.4%) postoperatively. Two studies reported significant reductions in postoperative Tinnitus Handicap Inventory score (THI). Quality of life assessments varied between studies. Complications rates were low with only nine patients (4.9%) reporting a serious CI-related complication.Conclusions:This systematic review evaluated 17 studies describing the safety and efficacy of CI in patients with MD and encountered many challenges due to small sample sizes, and heterogeneity in study design and outcomes measured. Despite these limitations, this study of 182 patients is to the best of our knowledge the largest systematic review evaluating the safety and efficacy of CI in MD. The results of this study support the need for a standardized approach to evaluating outcomes of CI in patients with MD in future studies.

简介:AbstractWith cochlear implantation (CI) being the standard of care for profoundly deaf cases, more and more patients with low frequency residual hearing are currently being treated with CI. In view of preserving the residual hearing, the ultimate aim of both the surgeons and the CI companies is to achieve zero-degree of electrode insertion trauma. Variations in the size and shape of cochlea, cross-sectional dimensions of ST, electrode insertion techniques with and without metal stylet rod and the experience level of the operating surgeons, all play a role in the electrode array related insertion trauma. An effective electrode design must include flexible array to accommodate the cochlear shape variation, electrode with variety of array lengths to support the concept of cochlear size specific electrode array and finally smaller cross-sectional dimensions of electrode array in matching the cross-sectional dimensions of ST. As per published reports, FLEX electrode array design offers minimal degree of electrode insertion trauma along with the possibility of patient specific electrode array length matching their cochlear size. Looking at the cross-sectional dimensions of FLEX electrode array along with its volume, it appear to be highly safe to the cochlea by not taking too much volume inside the ST. To offer additional support, otological pre-planning software tool like OTOPLAN is now clinically available in measuring the cochlear size in finding the best electrode array match along with the possibilities of anatomy based post-operative speech processor fitting.

简介:摘要:目的:探究不同干预模式在低龄语前聋患者中的治疗情况或康复效果,为其治疗方案的进一步选择提供参考依据。方法:以随机抽样原则为根本遵循,回顾性分析2018-2020年期间在我院接受双侧人工耳蜗植入(Cochlear implantation,CI)治疗的语前聋患者30例,以其为CI治疗组,然后于2021-2023年度,根据随机抽签结果,给予30例语前聋患者双模式干预,即单侧人工耳蜗植入、对侧助听器治疗(双模式干预组),在不同时间点(开机时、开机3个月、开机6个月和开机12个月后)对两组患者的听觉行为分级(CAP)、言语可懂度分级(SIR)、婴幼儿有意义听觉评分(IT-MAIS)、婴幼儿有意义言语评分(MUSS)以及言语空间听觉质量评分(SSQ-P)进行比较。结果:在治疗过程中,观察表1和表2的数据显示,两组患者的听力在开机时和开机3个月后都明显提升了。值得特别关注的是,双模式干预组的听力提升幅度明显超过了CI治疗组,但是随着时间的推移,到了开机6个月和开机12个月后,这种差异就不那么明显了,在这段时间内,双模式干预组的言语可懂度明显高于CI治疗组。就IT-MAIS和MUSS指标而言,两组患者在治疗过程中都表现出了改善趋势,在开机时和开机3个月后,双模式干预组的得分明显高于CI治疗组,这种差异在统计学上是显著的;然而,到了开机6个月和开机12个月后,这种差异却不再显著。结论:在短期内,双模式干预明显优于双侧人工耳蜗植入,有助于提升低龄语前聋患者的听觉、言语等能力,然而,长期效果方面,两种干预方法的差异较小,因此,临床医师在选择治疗方法时应该考虑患者的实际需求和疾病情况。
