Abstract:
Objective To summarize 5 otospongiosis cases with profound sensory hearing loss who received cochlear implante(CI) in routine way.To analyze their characteristics in audiology and temporal CT,and the effects after CI.Methods 5 cases of profound sensorineural hearing loss with otospongiosis received pure tone test,otoacoustic emission,auditory brainstem evoked potential and temporal CT before operation.One of the patients received binaural CIs.Mapping was done one month after operation.Follow-up tests were provided 6 months after operation to assess the effects.Results 5 cases showed clinical characteristics of gradual binaural hearing reduction,PTA greater than 90 dB HL,mixed or sensorineural deafness,normal tympanic membranes,reduced peaks in acoustic impedance,and typical CT findings.5 patients(6 ears) were implanted in routine manner.It was difficult to open the cochlea scala tympani.The scala tympani was filled with loose bony tissues.It was about 7～9 mm between the round window and the normal scala tympani.All patients showed the standard wave from in nerves reaction remote monitoring.The patients were followed up from 8 months to 3.1years.The average PTA was 20～37dB HL.The speech discrimination score was 95%～99% for open Chinese audiometry.Conclusion CI was an effective way to help patients with profound sensory hearing loss and otospongiosis.
