Cochlear implantation shows variable outcomes in children with single-sided deafness after temporal bone fractures, suggesting timely intervention is crucial.
CI is a feasible intervention for SSD following pediatric temporal bone fractures, but outcomes are variable. Early evaluation and timely CI, ideally within 6 months of temporal bone fracture, may optimize outcomes. Cochlear ossification, either as a result of otic capsule fracture or subsequent meningitis, may lead to suboptimal outcomes.
