OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes and issues pertaining to cochlear implantation in a group of subjects affected by @entity9465 . STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology and Otorhinolaryngology, University of Parma. @entity1 : Five postlingually deafened adults suffering from a typical form of @entity9465 who underwent cochlear implantation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Benefit from cochlear implantation as measured by word and everyday sentence recognition tests. Surgical issues and @entity260 were also evaluated. RESULTS: In two cases, intracochlear electrodes were inserted into the scala vestibuli because of the ossification of the scala tympani. Two @entity1 experienced a recurrence of @entity1036 the day after surgery. To date, with a follow-up of 1 to 4 years, no @entity1 has experienced flap complications or other @entity149 . At the 12-month postoperative evaluation, all @entity1 had gained useful open-set speech perception, achieving a mean score of 91% and 95% on word and everyday sentence recognition tests, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 deafened by @entity9465 demonstrated high levels of speech understanding after undergoing cochlear implantation. Obliteration of the cochlea may complicate electrode implantation, requiring modifications of the surgical technique. Stress consequent to the surgical procedure may instigate an acute phase of the basic illness.
