Abstract:
Objective To study the analysis of auditory rehabilitation outcomes of patients with cochlear nerve canal stenosis after cochlear implantation(CI).Methods A cohort of 30 patients with bilateral profound senso-rineural hearing loss who were diagnosed with cochlear neural canal stenosis by high-resolution CT were tested with evoked compound action potential (ECAP)and evoked auditory brainstem response (EABR)during and 3 ,6 , 9 months after CI.Audiometry in sound field was also assessed before and 3 ,6 ,9 months after CI.Among the co-hort,1 7 patients over 3 years old underwent postoperative speech recognition rate test.All the auditory rehabilita-tion outcomes were analyzed.Results ① For all 30 patients,there were no obvious differences of ECAP and EABR waveforms tested in 3,6 and 9 months after CI.②The thresholds in sound field in 3,6,9 months after CI were 65 ±8 dB HL,62 ±4 dB HL and 61 ±7 dB HL,respectively.The thresholds in sound field were significantly im-proved after than before CI (100 ±5 dB HL).③ The single vowel recognition rates of 17 patients in 3 ,6 and 9 months after CI were 55%±7%,56%±8% and 80%±4%,respectively.The single vowel recognition rate was significantly improved in 9 months after than before CI(52%±8%).The single consonant recognition rates of 17 pa-tients in 3 ,6 and 9 months after CI were 9%±3%,8%±4% and 9%±2%,respectively.The single consonant recognition rates were not significantly improved after than before CI (8%±2%).Conclusion ① For patients with bi-lateral cochlear neural canal stenosis,neither ECAP nor EABR waves were produced during or after CI.The language com-munication of patients is limited as a result of their poor subjective thresholds in sound field and speech recognition rates.
