TO EVALUATE THE INITIAL RESULTS OF CHILDREN AFTER COCHLEAR IMPLANT ADJUSTMENT USING THE METHOD OF MEASURING THE ACOUSTIC REFLEX THRESHOLD AT THE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL 1
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the initial results of children after cochlear implant adjustment using the method of measuring the acoustic reflex threshold. Subjects and Research Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study on 20 patients after cochlear implantation at the Ear, Nose, and Throat Department - Children hospital 1. Results: The majority of cochlear implants are performed between the ages of 1 to 3 years (75%). The ratio of implants is 45% for males and 55% for females. The average hearing threshold before surgery was 103,2 dB. After surgery, the hearing characteristics of the group adjusted using IFT and ART measurements showed that, after approximately 9 months, the average hearing threshold reached only 65.9 dB. Subsequently, ESRT measurements were taken, resulting in thresholds of 37,6 dB after 4 months; 29,3 dB after 8 months; and 26,1 dB after 12 months. For the group adjusted using ESRT, IFT, and ART from the moment the device was activated, the threshold after 4 months was 32,6 dB. Conclusion: This study indicates that the application of the acoustic reflex threshold in adjusting cochlear implant devices at Children hospital 1 provides significant benefits.
