Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:This article evaluates the auditory and speech perception outcomes of sensorneural hearing loss with cerebral white matter abnormalities after cochlear implantation.
METHOD:A retrospective analysis was performed on the cochlear implantatees with cerebral white matter abnormalities by using the categories of auditory performance and speech intelligibility rating, and compared with the non-syndrome patients with sensorineural hearing loss. Paired t-test was used for statistical analysis.
RESULT:There was statistical difference between normal group and white matter changes group with sensorineural hearing loss after 6 month. No statistical difference was found after 12 month and 24 month.
CONCLUSION:In the short term, the cochlear implant can be performed safely in patients with white matter changes. After a formal rehabilitation training,no significant difference in auditory or language ability was found between normal group and white matter changes group with sensorineural hearing loss.
