  1. 1. Experiences from Cochlear Implantation and Auditory Brainstem Implantation in Adults and Children : Electrophysiological Measurements, Hearing Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction

    Författare :Karin Lundin; Helge Rask-Andersen; Fredrik Stillesjö; Claes Möller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :cochlear implant; auditory brainstem implant; electrically evoked auditory brainstem responses; long deafness duration; neurofibromatosis type 2; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Cochlear implants (CIs) and auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) are prostheses for hearing used in patients with profound hearing impairment. A CI requires an operational cochlear nerve to function in contrast to an ABI. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Hearing in advanced age Epidemiological, pathophysiological, and diagnostic perspectives from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies

    Författare :Hanna Göthberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Age-related hearing loss; Older adult; Hearing decline; Peripheral auditory function; Central auditory function; Audiological research;

    Sammanfattning : The population aged 80 and above is expected to increase in the future resulting in an anticipated rise in health care demands. Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is described as the third most common health condition associated with ageing. ARHL often results in communication difficulties and social isolation and is associated with cognitive decline. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Quinine as a model for the study of cochlear hearing loss in humans

    Författare :Erik Berninger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cochlear function; hearing loss; inner ear; otoacoustic emissions; quinine; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics;

    Sammanfattning : Quinine has been used for centuries and is still recommended for the treatment of severe falciparum malaria and non-severe chloroquine-resistant malaria. Among its side effects is the concentration-dependent and reversible cochlear hearing loss. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Bilateral cochlear implants in children : clinical and methodological studies

    Författare :Filip Asp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : A cochlear implant (CI) restores functional hearing in individuals with bilateral severe- to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Despite hearing loss in both ears, CIs are usually provided unilaterally, excluding the alleged benefits associated with bilateral auditory stimulation. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Life circumstances of children and adolescents after cochlear implantation

    Författare :Lena Anmyr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: In Sweden, about 300 children every year are born with hearing impairment (HI), and about 50 of them with severe HI. Today, these children are treated with either hearing aid (HA) or cochlear implant (CI). LÄS MER
