The patient first complained of bilateral hearing loss at the age of 8 years. As the hearing loss progressed hearing aids provided minimal benefit. A multidisciplinary team evaluated his extensive medical history, which included juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus, seizures, vision abnormalities and hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism. Pure tone audiometry was done which showed sloping bilateral severe to profound hearing loss, more at higher frequencies. Hrct and Mri temporal bone showed normal cochlear architecture and cochlear nerve. The patient received a Nucleus Profile™ CI 632 cochlear implant. Postoperative evaluation revealed significant improvement, with a speech discrimination score of 90% at the most comfortable level three months post-implantation.Conclusion: Wolfram syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with multisystem involvement and debilitating symptoms. High-frequency sensorineural hearing loss is a common association and hearing rehabilitation using hearing aids and cochlear implants must be considered to improve the quality of life.","PeriodicalId":53553,"journal":{"name":"COCHLEAR IMPLANTS INTERNATIONAL","volume":" ","pages":"487-491"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142883624","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}

Scanning was accomplished using the institutional head and inner ear protocol with a General Electric 1.5 Tesla scanner with retained and removed implant magnet, extended with T1 and T2 weighted sequences with metal-artefact reduction (MAVRIC SL). Image quality was evaluated by three radiologists.Results: The Osia®2 produced significant artefacts in most of the series of standard imaging sequences predominantly on the ipsilateral side of the head. The majority of the artefacts were caused by the implant magnet. Even without removing the magnet, MAVRIC SL improved image quality to such an extent that it became comparable with that after magnet removal.Conclusions: The standard sequences suffer considerable quality loss due to the artefacts, attributed predominantly to the magnetic component. Metal-artefact reduction sequences are effective in obtaining sufficient-to-good quality images without surgical magnet removal.","PeriodicalId":53553,"journal":{"name":"COCHLEAR IMPLANTS INTERNATIONAL","volume":" ","pages":"434-444"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142480595","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 aim of this study is to evaluate the improvement in auditory performance in noise among cochlear implant patients who underwent personalized auditory-cognitive training for speech understanding tasks in noise.Design: This was a prospective study involving cochlear implanted patients divided into two groups. One group underwent auditory training in a noisy environment at home for 2 months (G1) while the other group served as a control (G0). A test of intelligibility performance in noise was conducted at inclusion and two months later.Results: 52 patients were included in the study. The trained group, G1, showed a significant improvement with an increase of 4.8 dB in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) between the two tests (P < 0.01).

Parents of 18 children provided ratings using the Parents' Evaluation of Aural/oral Performance of Children (PEACH) questionnaire; and children provided ratings using the Self Evaluation of Listening Function (SELF) questionnaire. Analyses of variance with repeated measures were used to examine the effect of SCAN.Results: On average, speech perception in noise was significantly better with SCAN enabled (mean SRT: -4.1 dB; SD: 4.0), compared to SCAN disabled (mean SRT: 0.5 dB; SD: 3.5). Children's functional performance in real life was similar between the two device settings.Conclusion: Automatic auditory scene classification provides significant benefits for speech perception in noise (4.6 dB improvement).

Currently, no hearing-specific QOL proxy questionnaire exists for preschool children with hearing loss in the Dutch language.

Parents or caregivers of 60 normal-hearing children and 50 children with bilateral hearing loss aged 2-6 years old were invited to digitally complete the questionnaire.Results: The Preschool HEAR-QL questionnaire showed good discriminant validity between the normal-hearing and the hearing loss group, for its total score and some subscales. We concluded satisfying internal consistency given Cronbach's alpha values being above 0.70, nearly all alpha if item deleted values approaching the overall values, and item-subscale correlations above 0.30. Test-retest reliability was satisfying with all intraclass correlation coefficients being greater than 0.70.Conclusion: This Dutch hearing-specific QOL proxy questionnaire can play an important role in the management and follow-up of early childhood hearing loss in Dutch health care and hearing centers.

This led to subsequent explantation. Patch testing using the various parts of the implant revealed a hypersensitive response to the silicone component of the receiver stimulator. There have only been 6 reported cases of cochlear implant explantation secondary to allergic reactions to cochlear implants. The inflammatory reaction has been to the silicone component of the cochlear implant found in the silicone used in Cochlear America's implants.Conclusion: Although rare, it's important to be aware of delayed hypersensitivity reactions to the silicone component of a cochlear implant. Attention should be made to associate symptoms such as pruritis, urticaria and loss of hair as symptoms and signs of possible allergic reaction to the implanted component. Steroids may help to alleviate symptoms; however, symptoms have been shown to recur after cessation of steroids.
