Impact of Socioeconomic Status and Family Language on Implanted Children's Communication Mode

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Examination of the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) and family language on communication mode after cochlear implant (CI). Data Sources Data on 176 children implanted at < 37 months were obtained from medical records including insurance type as a representation of SES, family language (English‐only/Spanish‐bilingual/Spanish ...

Factors determining susceptibility to temporary threshold shift in humans: insights from concert attendance

Frontiers in Audiology and Otology
Noise exposure can induce temporary threshold shifts (TTS), typically assessed using pure-tone audiometry (PTA). The magnitude of TTS is influenced by noise attributes such as duration and intensity, but likely also by a number of personal factors ...

Robotic‐Assisted Electrode Array Insertion Improves Rates of Hearing Preservation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The purpose of our study is to understand the extent to which robotic‐assisted electrode array (EA) insertion improves hearing preservation. Our results show that robotic‐assisted EA insertion is associated with improved hearing preservation over 1 year compared with manual insertion.

Deaf Parents of Deaf Children

Sites: a journal of social anthropology and cultural studies, 2006
Our purpose in writing this paper is to share our stories with other Deaf and hearing parents of Deaf children in the hope that we can learn together so that all Deaf children can prosper. Our paper makes a case for all Deaf children having access to Deaf adults early in their lives. We describe how we felt when our children were diagnosed as Deaf, and

Speech Perception Outcomes in Cochlear Implant Users Undergoing Remote Versus In‐Person Programming: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study reviews the literature comparing speech recognition outcomes between remote versus in‐person CI programming. Speech recognition outcomes tested in quiet were similar between in‐person programmed and remotely programmed CI users for word lists (SMD: −0.06 [95% CI: −0.37–0.35], p = 0.71) and for sentences (SMD: −0.28 [95% CI: −0.79–0.24], p ...

NLRP3 Is Expressed in the Spiral Ganglion Neurons and Associated with Both Syndromic and Nonsyndromic Sensorineural Deafness

Neural Plasticity, 2016
Nonsyndromic deafness is genetically heterogeneous but phenotypically similar among many cases. Though a variety of targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels has been recently developed to facilitate genetic screening of nonsyndromic deafness ...

Marital Quality in Deaf-Deaf and Deaf-Hearing Marriages

, 1999
The purpose of this study was to assess similarities and differences in marital adjustment between Deaf-Deaf and Deaf-hearing married couples. In examining marital adjustment, Spanier's Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS) was translated from English to American Sign Language (ASL) and administered to 30 Deaf-Deaf and 22 Deaf-hearing couple ...

Vocal Fold Kinematics in Phonotrauma From High Speed Videoendoscopy

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study aimed to quantify vocal fold vibratory kinematics associated with phonotraumatic vocal fold lesions. Results found that individuals with phonotrauma had increased vocal fold closing velocity, evidenced by a higher maximum area declination rate, and increased vibrational amplitude.

Predictors of Early and Long‐Term Sound Quality Ratings in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This longitudinal study of 339 adult cochlear implant recipients demonstrates that subjective sound quality ratings improve significantly during the first 6 months post‐activation before plateauing, with early outcomes predicted by electrode placement factors (closer modiolar distance and deeper insertion depth), pre‐operative sound quality, and word ...
