1. Is there a change in P300 evoked potential after 6 months in cochlear implant users?

Abstract Objective: There are few studies on long-latency auditory evoked potential (P300) in people with hearing loss who use a cochlear implant. Central auditory system evaluation with behavioral and electrophysiological tests is believed to help understand the neuroplasticity mechanisms involved in auditory functioning after cochlear implant surgery. Thi

3. Evaluation of the Electrically-Evoked Stapedial Reflex Threshold in Pediatric Cochlear Implant Users with High-Frequency Probe Tones

Abstract Introduction Measurement of the electrically-evoked stapedial reflex threshold (ESRT) is an objective tool used to set the comfort levels in pediatric cochlear implant (PCI) users. The levels of ESRT have a strong correlation with comfort levels. However, the clinical utility of ESRT is limited because the ESRT response is not observed in all cochl

4. Does universal newborn hearing screening impact the timing of deafness treatment?

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the impact of the Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening (UNHS) on the age at diagnosis, beginning of treatment, and first cochlear implant surgery. Methods: A retrospective cohort study with children up to 12 years old with bilateral hearing loss were divided into two groups: patients who underwent UNHS and the ones who didn'

7. Does size of the cochlear nerve affect postoperative auditory performance in pediatric cochlear implant patients with normal cochlear nerves?

Resumo Introdução O implante coclear é um método de tratamento eficaz para a perda auditiva grave a profunda. Muitos fatores que podem influenciar o sucesso do implante coclear foram explicados em estudos anteriores. Além desses fatores, pequenas diferenças no tamanho dos nervos cocleares normais podem afetar o desempenho pós-operatório. Objetivo I

9. Cochlear Implants in Patients with Fluctuant or Progressive Hearing Loss on the Better Ear

Abstract Introduction Cochlear implants have been proposed for cases of unilateral hearing loss, especially in patients with tinnitus impairment. Several studies have shown that they result in definite improvement of sound localization and speech understanding, both in quiet and noisy environments. On the other hand, there are few references regarding cochl

10. Comparison of Relative Loudness Judgment in Children using Listening Devices with Typically Developing Children

Abstract Introduction Loudness perception is considered important for the perception of emotions, relative distance and stress patterns. However, certain digital hearing devices worn by those with hearing impairment may affect their loudness perception. This could happen in devices that have compression circuits to make loud sounds soft and soft sounds loud
