{"title":"Cochlear implant and tinnitus: a narrative literature review and evidence for clinical use","authors":"Laura MARIANI, Enrica FABIANO, Ginevra PORTANOVA, Ilaria GIALLINI, Maria NICASTRI, Angela MUSACCHIO, Hilal DINCER D’ALESSANDRO, Patrizia MANCINI","doi":"10.23736/s2724-6302.23.02486-6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23736/s2724-6302.23.02486-6","url":null,"abstract":"INTRODUCTION: Tinnitus is one of the major complaints in patients with bilateral hearing loss or single-sided deafness (SSD). Several studies describe that cochlear implantation may play a role in tinnitus suppression. Results in the literature are heterogeneous for the role and level of success that Cochlear Implants (CI) plays in tinnitus suppression. The purpose of this review is to summarize all of the significant evidence and outcomes documented as to CI effects on tinnitus perception in unilateral/bilateral CI users and SSD patients, as well as to report on tinnitus findings and fitting strategies currently used to optimize the results for supporting a clear counselling process.EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A comprehensive literature search was undertaken using the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL and Web of Science. Included articles are published through to November 2022 and referenced by relevant literature. The eligible studies and data results were summarized in this narrative review.EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: The review was organized to deliver a summary of: CI pathophysiologic mechanisms and prognostic factors involved in tinnitus suppression; CI outcomes for both unilateral and bilateral implantation in bilateral symmetrical hearing loss, as well as in asymmetrical hearing loss and in SSD patients; the relevant findings concerning CI fitting in managing tinnitus suppression. Finally, the effects of CI on quality of life and psychological status of patients with tinnitus were addressed.CONCLUSIONS: The present review is a targeted contribution to support clinical procedures regarding the applicability and the outcomes of CI in tinnitus treatment. Further studies and specific guidelines are needed to broaden knowledge and understanding in this specific research field.","PeriodicalId":38742,"journal":{"name":"Otorhinolaryngology Clinics","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135706412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The consequences of OSAS are a decrease in blood oxygenation and frequent nocturnal episodes of awakening, which can lead to the increase of sleep fragmentation and, as a result, daytime sleepiness, increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, and increased blood pressure with further complications. In the case of hypertrophy of the tonsils, the condition can gain complications which require a complex approach towards the tactics of treating the patients. In this case, surgery highlights the best treatment option for mild to moderate OSAS over CPAP, which calls into question the benefits of this method and encourages reconsideration of surgical intervention as the first-line treatment.","PeriodicalId":38742,"journal":{"name":"Otorhinolaryngology Clinics","volume":"2668 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86592382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
