ASSESSMENT OF COCHLEAR IMPLANT PROGRAMMING METHODS FOR POST-IMPLANTATION PATIENTS AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 1
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Hearing and speech rehabilitations for patients after cochlear implant surgery is not only important in treatment but also helps patients integrate into the community. Particularly, the role of cochlear implant fitting after implantation is always of interest because it directly affects the issue of language training for children. Subjects and Research Method: A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted on 40 patients after cochlear implantation at the Ear, Nose, and Throat Department of Children Hospital 1 over the period from 2017 to 2024. Results: The majority of cochlear implants were performed on children aged 1 to 3 years (67%). The ratio of male patients was 40%, while female patients accounted for 60%. The average pre-operative hearing threshold was 98,8 dB. After surgery, the characteristics of hearing through free field using the electrode adjustment method with IFT and ART measurements at 4 months, 8 months, and 12 months were 59,8 dB; 41,8 dB; and 33,1 dB, respectively. Additionally, the characteristics of hearing through free field using the electrode adjustment method with IFT, ART, and ESRT measurements at 4 months, 8 months, and 12 months were 35,3 dB; 29,1 dB; and 26,4 dB, respectively. Conclusion: A combination of IFT, ART and ESRT methods facilitate the cochlear implant fitting process, thus improving hearing ability and helping patients integrate into the community.
