Abstract

Objective

The changes in the inner ear affect both the cochlea and the vestibule and these effects are observed after cochlear implantation surgery. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effect of unilateral cochlear implant use on vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in children.

Methods

In the current study, 29 cochlear implanted children, aged 7–18 years, were include as the study group and 32 children, in the same age range, were included with normal-hearing as the control group. vHIT was used to evaluate VOR and the results of unilateral CI users were compared with the control group. The study group was evaluated in two different situations: cochlear implant sound processor on (CI-ON) and cochlear implant sound processor off (CI-OFF). The data obtained in the evaluations were compared between the implanted ear and the non-implanted ear between the CI-ON and CI-OFF states within the study group and between the study group and the control group.

Results

When the CI-ON and CI-OFF conditions in the study group were compared, no significant difference was found (p > 0.05). Similarly, no significant difference was found between the implanted ear and the non-implanted ear (p > 0.05). Also, there was no significant difference in the comparisons between the study group and the control group (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

vHIT is a functional test method that can be used in children to test vestibular function after cochlear implant. vHIT is a comfortable test to use after cochlear implantation to demonstrate the functionality of the vestibular system. And it provides consistent results regardless of whether the speech processor is on or off.

用 vHIT 评估单侧小儿人工耳蜗使用者的 VOR 功能

目标内耳的变化会影响耳蜗和前庭，人工耳蜗植入手术后也会观察到这些影响。本研究旨在评估单侧人工耳蜗植入对儿童前庭-眼反射（VOR）的影响。方法在本研究中，研究组包括 29 名 7-18 岁人工耳蜗植入儿童，对照组包括 32 名听力正常的同龄儿童。研究组在两种不同情况下进行评估：人工耳蜗声音处理器开启（CI-ON）和人工耳蜗声音处理器关闭（CI-OFF）。对评估中获得的数据，在研究组内的 CI-ON 和 CI-OFF 状态下，在植入耳和非植入耳之间进行比较，并在研究组和对照组之间进行比较。结果当比较研究组的 CI-ON 和 CI-OFF 状态时，没有发现显著差异（p >0.05）。同样，植入耳和未植入耳之间也没有发现明显差异（p > 0.05）。结论vHIT是一种功能测试方法，可用于儿童人工耳蜗植入后的前庭功能测试。而且无论语言处理器是否开启，它都能提供一致的结果。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
