    The effect of canal diameter on audiologic results in patients with cochlear implantation with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome
    (Springer, 2020) BATMAN, ABDULLAH ÇAĞLAR; Demir B., Cesur S., Incaz S., Alberalar N.D., Ciprut A., Batman C.
    Purpose: To compare audiologic results according to vestibular aqueduct (VA) diameter in patients who have undergone cochlear implantation and were diagnosed with LVAS. Methods: This was a retrospective study detailing the outcomes of 18 patients with LVAS and 18 patients undergone cochlear implants. VA diameter was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. Categories of Auditory Perception (CAP) and Speech Intelligibility Rating (SIR) were assessed in all patients, and speech audiometry, including speech recognition thresholds (SRT) and word discrimination scores, was applied for all subjects who were able to perform these tests. All audiologic parameters were compared between patients with and without LVAS, and the relationship of these parameters with VA diameter was investigated. Results: The control group consisted of 18 subjects (5 males, 13 females), ranging in age between 2 and 34 years (mean 13.17 ± 8.97 years). The research group consisted of 18 subjects (8 males, 10 females), ranging in age between 2 and 35 years (mean 13.28 ± 8.96 years). There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of SIR and CAP pre-post differences (Mann–Whitney U test, p < 0.05), with higher averages in the LVAS group. No statistically significant correlations were found between VA diameter on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and the audiologic variables collected. Conclusions: Patients with LVAS benefit from cochlear implant surgery and VA parameters do not affect audiologic parameters. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

    The body image in hearing aid and cochlear implant users in Turkey
    (2022-11-01) ÇİPRUT, AYŞE AYÇA; Ozturk S., ÇİPRUT A. A.
    Purpose We investigated the relationship between hearing aid or cochlear implants usage and body image, and quality of life. Methods Of the 96 participants studied, 26 were cochlear implant users, 20 hearing aid users, 20 non-device users with hearing loss, and 30 normal hearing. The inclusion criteria for the study for all groups were subjects 18 years or older with no other physical complaints. The average age of groups and gender distributions were similar. The Body Image Scale (BIS) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale were applied to all participants, whereas the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids, Turkish Version, was applied only to device users. Results A significant difference in body image scores was identified between non device users with hearing loss group and normal hearing group, device users group (HA/CI), and cochlear implant users group. In contrast, no significant difference in body image scores between normal hearing group and the device users group was identified. Finally, a positive correlation between body image scores and quality of life scores in all groups was identified. Conclusions Non-device users with hearing loss have a lower body image and quality of life than those in the other groups, and device usage has a positive effect on body image and quality of life.
