Cochlear Implantation for Children with Auditory Neuropathy Among Japanese Language Users

  • Conference paper
Neuropathies of the Auditory and Vestibular Eighth Cranial Nerves

Abstract

Among 80 prelingually deafened children who underwent cochlear implant at Okayama University Hospital, two auditory neuropathy/auditory dys-synchrony (AN/AD) cases with cochlear implant were identifi ed from review of medical records. These two cases fi rst demonstrated stable responses with distortion product otoacoustic emission, although later the response disappeared. In spite of the presence of AN/AD, the language development of these cases was quite satisfactory so far. Herein, we report the clinical course and language development of these auditory neuropathy cases with cochlear implant.
