Intracochlear schwannoma and cochlear implantation.

A case of intracochlear schwannoma in a 58-year-old candidate for cochlear implantation is described. The tumor was located in the basal turn of the cochlea and was discovered only during surgery. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging obtained prior to surgery failed to detect the tumor. Intralabyrinthine schwannomas are rare tumors that grow either in the vestibule, as intravestibular schwannomas, or in the cochlea, as intracochlear schwannomas. Complete removal of this tumor was achieved through a posterior tympanotomy approach. Cochlear implantation, which resulted in good hearing, was successfully performed 3 years later.

Using electrically evoked auditory reflex thresholds to fit the CLARION cochlear implant.

This paper describes a method for measuring electrically elicited auditory reflex thresholds (EARTs) in young children who use the CLARION Multi-Strategy Cochlear Implant. The EART is an objective measure that can guide the fitting of a cochlear implant in individuals who are unable to perform behavioral tasks required to program the device. Reflexes were obtained in 11 of 17 pediatric Clarion users. The EART current level indicated a point at which an auditory percept was present and the sound was loud, but not uncomfortable. The EART then was used as a basis for conditioning behavioral responses, and as a guideline for setting most comfortable loudness levels.
