Summary: Approximately 1 in 10 children with hearing loss has auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD), which makes it difficult for them to understand speech or communicate. Treatment options include hearing aids and cochlear implants, with the latter showing promising results in improving speech understanding for ANSD patients.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between intraoperative neural response telemetry (NRT) and postoperative auditory testing outcomes in children. A retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary-care academic center. The results showed that intraoperative NRT was not correlated with any postoperative functional auditory outcomes. Therefore, patient counseling should include discussions about the fact that a subpar intraoperative cochlear response does not preclude favorable speech and auditory outcomes.

Summary: The study found that elderly cochlear implant recipients showed significant improvement in monosyllabic word recognition test performance after implantation, with a negative correlation between auditory performance and age. Differences in performance were also significant between different age groups and genders in the study.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of insertion depth and position of cochlear implant (CI) electrode arrays on speech perception. The results showed that cochlear coverage was related to speech performance, with higher coverage associated with better speech discrimination score (SDS). The findings of this study are of significant importance for the outcomes of CI recipients.

Summary: This systematic review suggests that cochlear implantation (CI) is a feasible and effective method for hearing rehabilitation in children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). The current evidence is primarily based on case reports or retrospective chart reviews, and some studies have shown significant improvement in speech perception, language, and speech intelligibility scores after CI in children with ANSD.

Summary: This study explores auditory performance and real-world experience in patients with single sided deafness (SSD) who have undergone cochlear implantation (CI) with up to 10 years of auditory deprivation. The findings show that CI can improve auditory performance and subjective benefits even in patients with longer durations of deafness.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the long-term educational outcomes and quality of life in adolescents who received cochlear implants (CIs). The results show that children with CIs have better academic performance, language skills, and quality of life, especially those who received implants before 18 months of age.

Summary: This study compared the auditory performance of patients with a complete scala vestibuli (SV) location to those with a complete scala tympani (ST) location after cochlear implantation. The results showed that there was no difference in auditory performance between the two groups.

Summary: The study compared outcomes of cochlear implantation versus auditory brainstem implantation in children with different conditions of the auditory nerve. There were individual variations in outcomes depending on the status of the auditory nerve. Results demonstrated satisfactory auditory perception and speech and language development outcomes with pediatric auditory brainstem implantation.

Summary: This study aimed to develop and analyze a new patient-reported outcome measure, the CI Quality of Life (CIQOL) Expectations, to address the lack of data on the realism of patients' outcome expectations. The results of the psychometric analysis showed that the CIQOL-Expectations instrument demonstrated adequate to strong psychometric properties. This instrument can provide an evidence-based approach to assess patients' expectations and assist clinicians in counseling.

Summary: This study analyzed the association between stable asymptomatic white matter lesions (WMLs) and the cochlear implantation (CI) effect in congenitally deaf children. The results showed that there was no significant difference in auditory and speech performance between children with stable asymptomatic WMLs and their peers without WMLs post-CI. This suggests that comprehensive assessments can be used to identify suitable candidates with WMLs for cochlear implantation.

Summary: This study found that speech recognition scores from the first-side cochlear implant can predict the performance of the second-side cochlear implant in adults. This finding has important clinical implications for considering sequential bilateral implantation in adults.

Summary: This study compared brain morphometries in 204 participants and found that schizophrenia patients with auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) had smaller surface areas in specific brain regions, as well as smaller subcortical volumes compared to healthy controls. The analysis of different hallucination persistence revealed that patients with persistent hallucinations had smaller bilateral hippocampal volumes and smaller surface areas in specific brain regions compared to patients without current hallucinations. These findings emphasize the importance of considering the history and presence of AVH in understanding the neuroanatomical mechanisms in schizophrenia.

Summary: Sensory deprivation leads to changes in the human brain. Cochlear implantation reintroduces auditory sensory information. This study used fNIRS to investigate brain activity after cochlear implantation and found that typical cortical lateralization is observed as early as 1 hour after device activation.

Summary: This study aims to describe the findings on drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in infants with laryngomalacia (LM). The results showed that DISE can identify obstruction at the level of the tongue base and complement the assessment of LM severity.

Summary: In the last two decades, there has been a high prevalence of funding and potential conflicts of interest in HSAT publications. Higher quality studies have increased in the last five years, but there still exists a lack of disclosure regarding funding or COI. There is a positive correlation between level of evidence and industry funding.

Summary: This study aims to identify and synthesize key research advances in the preventative measures and medical and surgical treatment of uncomplicated otitis media (OM), as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on OM management. The study found that there have been important advances in OM management in recent years, such as the effectiveness of video discharge instructions in reducing symptoms for parents of children with acute otitis media (AOM) and the efficacy of levofloxacin solution for treating chronic suppurative otitis media.

Summary: This study analyzed head and neck injuries caused by BB guns among children under 18 treated in US emergency departments between 1993 and 2019. It found that younger children are at increased risk of hospital admission, and injuries to the eye and neck are strong predictors of hospitalization.
