Abstract:
Objective To investigate the auditory effects of cochlear implantation in quiet and noisy environ-ments in children with different bilateral intervention modes,as well as the factors influencing these effects.Methods A total of 185 children with bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss were divided into three groups:bimodal hearing mode group(BIM,n=55),simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation group(SCI,n=70),and sequential bilateral cochlear implantation group(SBCI,n=60).The Parents' Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children(PEACH)was used to assess the PEACH scores of the three groups in quiet and noisy environments one year after binaural hearing aid intervention.Additionally,the effects of cochlear implantation age,preoperative residual hearing,hearing aid usage,rehabilitation training mode,family system,and other factors on auditory per-formance in quiet and noisy environments were analyzed.Results The PEACH scores in quiet environments were higher than those in noisy environments for all three groups(all P<0.05).The SCI group had higher PEACH scores in both quiet and noisy environments compared to the BIM group(P<0.05).Multifactorial analysis revealed differences in factors influencing auditory performance in quiet and noisy environments among the three groups.First cochlear implantation before 3 years of age,preoperative hearing aid usage,and home-based rehabilitation training mode were common favourable influencing factors for auditory performance in both environments.Preopera-tive residual hearing below 95 dB HL was an favourable influencing factor for auditory performance in quiet environ-ments in the BIM group.The higher the level of parental education,the better auditory performance in both quiet and noisy environments for the SCI and SBCI groups.Implantation interval of 24 months or less and hearing aid usage during the inter-implantation period were favourable influencing factors for auditory performance in both envi-ronments for the SBCI group.Conclusion Children with severe to profound prelingual deafness after simultaneous bilateral CI implantation had better hearing performance than bimodal listening in quiet and noise environments.Ear-ly implantation,preoperative or inter-implantation hearing aid usage are recommended to improve auditory perform-ance in noisy environments,regardless of the bilateral intervention mode.The interval between bilateral cochlear im-plantations should be less than 12 months.
