Filter by:The quality of the rehabilitation of deafness in children with cochlear implantation is a major prognostic factor for the outcome on speech comprehension and oral expression. This rehabilitation is carried out cooperatively by the hospital cochlear implantation team, and by a speech therapist located near the child's home. The multi-weekly sessions represent a constraint for the child and his parents. Complementary training work at home would make it possible to balance the equity in the distribution of care in the territory, and should promote the progress of the child, who is more inclined to use a tool available at home.
This study will address the feasibility of simultaneous cochlear implantation during resection of a vestibular schwannoma.
The aim of the study is to identify the scannographic criterion the most relevant to predict the round window visibility during cochlear implantation.
The study aims to compare two different cochlear implant sound processing strategies. All the participants will start off with a sound processing strategy called the XDP (extended performance). At the 3 month stage, half of the participants would randomly be selected and offered a sound processing strategy called the Voice Guard. Following that, the sound processing strategies will be altered and evaluated every 3 months at the 6th, 9th and 12th month of cochlear implant use.
The goal of this study was to evaluate, in the hands of an inexperienced surgeon, the cochleostomy location of an endaural approach (MINV) compared to the conventional posterior tympanotomy (MPT) approach. Since 2010, the investigators use in the ENT department of Nice a new surgical endaural approach to perform cochlear implantation. In the hands of an inexperienced surgeon, the position of the cochleostomy has not yet been studied in detail for this technique. This is a prospective study of 24 human heads. Straight electrode arrays were implanted by an inexperienced surgeon: on one side using MPT and on the other side using MINV.
