Auditory Integration

Introduction: The world community is concerned with the assessment of the speech and hearing development of children with sensorineural deafness after cochlear implantation, since the most important result of rehabilitation is the success of social integration of such children. In most countries of the world, the Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) and the Meaningful Use of Language Scale (MUSS) are used to assess the auditory and language integration of children with sensorineural hearing loss after cochlear implantation (CI). Unfortunately, in Ukraine there are still no Ukrainian questionnaires for assessing the auditory development of children with sensorineural hearing loss after cochlear implantation. The aim of our study was to translate MAIS and MUSS manuals into Ukrainian, to adapt and validate them culturally. Materials and methods: Materials for translation and cultural adaptation were English-language versions of the Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) and Meaningful Use of Language Scale (MUSS), developed by the Nottingham Group of Cochlear Implantation, which are recognized and recommended for use by all cochlear implant manufacturers. Results obtained: The evaluation consisted of the following stages: preparatory stage – collection and analysis of literature; translation of original texts from English into Ukrainian; reversed translation by an independent translator of Ukrainian text into English; collation of the translation and comparison with the original questionnaire by an independent linguist; Cognitive analysis; field-testing of textbooks translated into Ukrainian with a small group of children after the CI; corrections, final revision of translations to identify and correct any grammatical, orthographic and other errors. The Ukrainian version of the questionnaire demonstrated a high level of internal compliance, testability and validity. Conclusions: Given the considerable relevance and demand ability of the materials, the tests can be recognized as valid and recommended for use in cochlear implant rehabilitation process.

Cochlear implants have transformed the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss. They have few major complications. The authors describe the case of a man fitted with a cochlear implant who suffered a postoperative subdural haematoma. The haematoma is thought to have been caused by bleeding from emissary veins opened by the drill passages used to anchor the sutures for the receiver/stimulator. The authors have abandoned tie down sutures in cochlear implants, preferring an appropriately deep well with squared-off rims, which would secure the implant in place. They have had no further complications of this nature.

Auditory Performance

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (OMIM 253000; also known as Morquio A syndrome) is associated with skeletal, airway, and hearing abnormalities. Cochlear implantation is an effective intervention for patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss. Patients can gain substantial improvement in auditory performance, speech perception, and their quality of life from cochlear implantation. Although severe progressive sensorineural hearing loss is a common feature of mucopolysaccharidosis IVA, no detailed description of cochlear implantation for mucopolysaccharidosis IVA has been reported. To review the effectiveness and special considerations associated with cochlear implantation in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA, we here report the case of cochlear implantation in mucopolysaccharidosis IVA by a multidisciplinary team. A retrospective chart review was conducted on a 34-year-old female with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA, who received a cochlear implant. Audiometric thresholds, speech perception scores, and cochlear implant processor mapping information were reviewed during the first 12 months following cochlear implantation. The results of audiological tests indicate improved hearing thresholds as well as remarkable enhancement of speech perception skills over 12 months of cochlear implant use. Cochlear implantation improved auditory performance in a mucopolysaccharidosis IVA patient with postlingually severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. The benefits of cochlear implantation could be meaningful for other Morquio patients with progressive hearing loss, although the risks of surgery and anesthesia should be carefully considered by a multidisciplinary team of experts during the cochlear implant candidacy process.

Usher’S Syndrome

Usher's syndrome (US) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa. The majority of affected individuals have severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss and are therefore potential cochlear implant candidates. A goal of our otology program has been early identification and implantation of children with US. At our center, early diagnosis of US has been achieved by comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluation including electroretinography. Four of our 19 pediatric cochlear implant recipients with congenital sensorineural hearing loss were identified with US and implanted prior to the onset of signs or symptoms of visual loss. All children have received measurable benefit from cochlear implantation. In light of the dual sensory deficits present in US, the need for early diagnosis and cochlear implantation is of special importance in this population.

Introduction: Surgical treatment of deep heating loss with cochlear implant is well know and successful method which can be used both in children and adults. In patients with cholesteatoma or who underwent surgery canal wall down technique special surgical approach schooled be used – lateral/subtotal petrosectomy. Material and method: Patients witch deep bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and cholesteatoma of middle ear or after treatment of cholesteatoma with canal wall down mastoidectomy were included in the study. Retrospective analysis of patient’s data, radiological and audiological testing was performed. Results: In Department of otolaryngology for Children and Adults and Oncologic Laryngology Pomeranian University of Medicine between 2008 and 2018 90 surgeries of cochlear implantations were performed and among which 3 petrosectomies in one child (5years old) and two adults aged 62 and 73 years old who underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy in the past. In all patients single stage procedure was used, petrosectomy with cochlear implantation. Wound healing an postoperative period was uneventful in all cases. Follow up ranges from 26 to 32 months, in control computer tomography there is lack of indirect signs of recurrence of cholesteatoma. In a child, who accordingly is autistic and mentally retardated, good hearing result is observed and speech understanding, without spontaneous speech. In adult patients in free field audiometry hearing level is 35 and 40dB with speech understanding 80%. Discussion: Patients with chronic ear inflammation can be successfully and safely treated with cochlear implantation using petrosectomy technique. Subtotal/lateral petrosectomy is a method of choice when deep sensorineural hearing loss coexists with chronic inflammatory changes of the middle ear.

Harmful Effects

We report a case of bilateral profound unremitting sensorineural hearing loss, in a 44-year-old male patient occurring after ingestion of sildenafil citrate 50 mg/day for 15 days. Audiological evaluation documented the findings. Sildenafil is an effective oral treatment for erectile dysfunction syndrome. It is being used and abused by many people as availability is easy and it can even be bought over the internet. Many patients are unaware of the harmful effects of sildenafil and take the drug without medical supervision. We could not find any previously reported cases of sildenafil induced hearing loss and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of sildenafil induced sensorineural hearing loss in the world literature.

Objective: To investigate the anatomical status of the round window niche and hearing outcome of cochlear implantation (CI) after explorative tympanotomy (ExT) with sealing of the round window membrane in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss at a tertiary referral medical center. Methods: Between January 1, 2007, and July 30, 2020, 1602 patients underwent CI at our department. Out of these, all patients previously treated by ExT with sealing of the round window membrane because of unilateral sudden hearing loss were included in the study. A retrospective chart review was conducted concerning method of round window membrane sealing, intraoperative findings during CI, postoperative imaging, and hearing results. Results: Twenty one patients (9 females; 8 right ears; 54.3 years [± 12.9 years]) underwent ExT with sealing of the round window membrane with subsequent CI after 26.6 months (± 32.9 mo) on average. During CI, in 76% of cases (n = 16), the round window niche was blocked by connective tissue due to the previous intervention but could be removed completely in all cases. The connective tissue itself and its removal had no detrimental effects on the round window membrane. Postoperative computed tomography scan showed no electrode dislocation. Mean postoperative word recognition score after 3 months was 57.4% (± 17.2%) and improved significantly to 73.1% (± 16.4%, P = .005) after 2 years. Conclusion: Performing CI after preceding ExT, connective tissue has to be expected blocking the round window niche. Remaining tissue can be removed safely and does not alter the round window membrane allowing for a proper electrode insertion. Short- and long-term hearing results are satisfactory. Consequently, ExT with sealing of the round window membrane in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss does not impede subsequent CI that can still be performed safely.

Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease

A total of twelve patients with a relatively uncommon form of progressive sensorineural deafness (autoimmune innerear disease) were treated orally with 1 mg/kg azathioprine, once daily, and with 30 mg prednisolone, every other day, for 4 weeks. Statistically significant increases in the ability to hear pure tones or in discrimination on audiometry took place in 10/12 patients. This condition was initially described as ‘sensorineural hearing loss', but it is now clear that the term ‘autoimmune inner-ear disease’ is more appropriate since the vestibular compartment as well as the cochlear compartment is involved. This relatively uncommon disease is one of the few forms of sensorineural deafness that can be successfully treated.

AbstractTwo cases of bilateral moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss due to oral administration of metronidazole are reported. There has been only one case report of deafness following metronidazole therapy in the world literature. The hearing loss recovered gradually in a period of four to six weeks following withdrawal of drug and oral steroid therapy. The possible mechanism of ototoxicity is discussed. Awareness by the treating physician of ototoxicity due to any drug is stressed.
