Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the verbal communication skills of post-lingual cochlear implantees with categories of auditory performance (CAP) and speech intelligibility rating(SIR), and to explore their relationships with the duration of hearing loss, the postoperative time and preoperative hearing aid usage.
Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 23 cases of post-lingual patients with cochlear implantation. CAP and SIR were applied in the evaluation of verbal communication skills. IBM SPSS Statistics 19 was used in statistical analysis.
Result: The average score of CAP was 6.13, and statistical analysis showed CAP score was not significantly correlated with the duration of hearing loss, the postoperative time or the time of wearing a hearing aid preoperatively. The average SIR score of all these post-lingual patients was 4.91.
Conclusion: It showed that CAP score was not significantly correlated with these three factors. This may due to the low accuracy of CAP or the small sample size in the present study. SIR was not suitable for the evaluation of post-lingual cochlear implantees.

BackgroundSpoken language and environmental sounds hold rich and nuanced meaning for the listener, but depend on accurate hearing of the soundscape, including the timing, volume, and contrasts of its component pitches. Sensorineural hearing loss with aging degrades these properties, leading to progressive disability.ObjectivesThis case study and review describe my experience and behavioral accommodations to progressive bilateral hearing loss, limited compensation with hearing aids, and the stuttering evolution of gains after a unilateral cochlear implant (CI).

Objective: 3-methylglutaconic aciduria (MEG), dystonia-deafness (D), (hepatopathy (H)), encephalopathy (E), and Leigh-like-syndrome (L) (MEGD(H)EL) syndrome is a rare, severely disabling progressive mitochondrial disease associated with biallelic pathogenic variants in SERAC1. Knowledge about hearing loss (HL) and hearing rehabilitation is scarce but highly sought after for best possible care in the absence of causative treatment.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Musical hallucinations have a great impact on a patient's life, but because of the rare frequency of occurrence and multiple causes, not enough research has been conducted on this topic yet, especially in Korea. Many patients with musical hallucinations have audiological and otologic problems. This study investigated the clinical manifestations of musical hallucinations in patients.

This study investigated which of a range of factors could explain performance in two distinct groups of experienced, adult cochlear implant recipients differentiated by performance on words in quiet: 72 with poorer word scores versus 77 with better word scores. Tests measured the potential contribution of sound processor mapping, electrode placement, neural health, impedance, cognitive, and patient-related factors in predicting performance. A systematically measured sound processor MAP was compared to the subject's walk-in MAP.

Objectives: Children with Single-Sided Deafness (SSD) may experience a range of developmental challenges. While cochlear implantation has demonstrated significant improvements in hearing, its impact on Quality of Life (QoL) remains underreported. This review evaluates how cochlear implantation for SSD influences the quality of life in children.
