Abstract

ABSTRACT


Introduction: We described an uncommon case of pediatric patient with bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss after symptomatic infection of COVID-19. The patient received bilateral cochlear implantation at the Children Hospital No.1. Initial results assist us in improving the performance of future cases.


Methods: A case report.


Results: A 7-year-old girl with post lingual hearing loss was indicated for cochlear implant operation. After surgery, she received a series of hearing and speaking rehabilitation training and achieved good results.


Conclusion: Children with sudden sensorineural hearing loss have a chance to recover normal hearing after early detection and appropriate intervention. Significantly, post-implantation speech therapy greatly affect the success of treatment.


Keywords: Cochlear implant, speech therapy, sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
