Abstract
Objective
The changes in the inner ear affect both the cochlea and the vestibule and these effects are observed after cochlear implantation surgery. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effect of unilateral cochlear implant use on vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in children.
Methods
In the current study, 29 cochlear implanted children, aged 7–18 years, were include as the study group and 32 children, in the same age range, were included with normal-hearing as the control group. vHIT was used to evaluate VOR and the results of unilateral CI users were compared with the control group. The study group was evaluated in two different situations: cochlear implant sound processor on (CI-ON) and cochlear implant sound processor off (CI-OFF). The data obtained in the evaluations were compared between the implanted ear and the non-implanted ear between the CI-ON and CI-OFF states within the study group and between the study group and the control group.
Results
When the CI-ON and CI-OFF conditions in the study group were compared, no significant difference was found (p > 0.05). Similarly, no significant difference was found between the implanted ear and the non-implanted ear (p > 0.05). Also, there was no significant difference in the comparisons between the study group and the control group (p > 0.05).
Conclusion
vHIT is a functional test method that can be used in children to test vestibular function after cochlear implant. vHIT is a comfortable test to use after cochlear implantation to demonstrate the functionality of the vestibular system. And it provides consistent results regardless of whether the speech processor is on or off.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
