Paediatric auditory brainstem implant: How we do it.
Key Points
To explore the benefits of auditory brainstem implants for children with profound hearing loss who cannot use traditional hearing aids.
Overview of the surgical procedure for auditory brainstem implants.
Assessment of patients’ eligibility based on hearing loss severity.
Post-operative evaluations to measure sound awareness.
Auditory brainstem implants significantly improve sound awareness in pediatric patients.
Patients who cannot benefit from cochlear implants gain a new avenue for sound perception.
Abstract
Paediatric auditory brainstem implants offer the possibility of sound awareness to patients with profound hearing loss that would not benefit from cochlear implantation or other hearing aid solutions.
