Impairments of vision and hearing are highly prevalent conditions limiting the quality of life
and presenting a major socioeconomic burden. For a long time, retinal and cochlear …

Approximately 2% of congenital profound deafness cases are due to cochlear nerve (CN)
deficiency. MRI is essential to confirm if the nerve is deficient, but because of limitations with …

Profound congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) prevents children from developing
spoken language. Cochlear implantation and auditory brainstem implantation can provide …

Abstract The Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) is based on the classic cochlear implant (CI)
but uses a different stimulation electrode. At MED-EL, the early development activities on …

Objectives: To evaluate long-term language development in children with prelingual
deafness who received auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) compared with children who …

Inner ear malformation (IEM) with associated sensoryneural hearing loss (SNHL) is a major
cause of childhood disability. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging …

Objective To determine audiological outcomes of children who use a cochlear implant (CI) in
one ear and an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) in the contralateral ear. Design …

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) can provide hearing sensation to individuals where the
auditory nerve is damaged. However, patient outcomes with the ABI are typically much …

Objective: This is a retrospective review of the impact of an Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)
on the audiological rehabilitation and tonal language development of pediatric patients with …

Auditory brainstem implantation (ABI) is a relative recent development in paediatric hearing
restoration. Consequently, young-implanted children's productive language has not …
