Abstract
Aims: Cochlear implantation is a potential intervention for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss, in particular in the pediatric population. This literature review aims to comprehensively evaluate the applications of electrophysiological tests in enhancing cochlear implant (CI) outcomes for children.
Methods: A literature review searched Medline and PubMed databases for articles on electrophysiological tests in CI children, using the terms "electrophysiological tests," "children," and "cochlear implant." The systematic search leads to 72 eligible texts.
Results: Electrophysiological tests can be used to test CI children without the need for their active participation. These tests can be helpful in identifying and improving the health of deaf children in various ways, such as determining the CI functional status, the semantic integration effects in CI children, the effect of central auditory structures in speech stimulus processing, the development of lexical-semantic in CI children, and tracking the maturation of the central auditory system. CI enhances central auditory nervous system (CANS) maturation and auditory/language skills.
Conclusion: The quality of electrophysiological tests can be improved to enhance hearing outcome prediction, postoperative physiology understanding, and hearing loss mechanisms. Electrophysiological tests study CANS maturation, identify lesions, aid CI programming, determine prognosis, and treatment outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery was founded as Indian Journal of Otolaryngology in 1949 as a scientific Journal published by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and was later rechristened as IJOHNS to incorporate the changes and progress.
IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015. The Journal published quarterly accepts articles in general Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and various subspecialities such as Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and Phonosurgery, Neurotology, Head and Neck Surgery etc.
The Journal acts as a window to showcase and project the clinical and research work done by Otolaryngologists community in India and around the world. It is a continued source of useful clinical information with peer review by eminent Otolaryngologists of repute in their respective fields. The Journal accepts articles pertaining to clinical reports, Clinical studies, Research articles in basic and applied Otolaryngology, short Communications, Clinical records reporting unusual presentations or lesions and new surgical techniques. The journal acts as a catalyst and mirrors the Indian Otolaryngologist’s active interests and pursuits. The Journal also invites articles from senior and experienced authors on interesting topics in Otolaryngology and allied sciences from all over the world.
The print version is distributed free to about 4000 members of Association of Otolaryngologists of India and the e-Journal shortly going to make its appearance on the Springer Board can be accessed by all the members.
Association of Otolaryngologists of India and M/s Springer India group have come together to co-publish IJOHNS from January 2007 and this bondage is going to provide an impetus to the Journal in terms of international presence and global exposure.
