Abstract: Objective --To investigate the auditory rehabilitative results achieved in five patients with cochlear implants (CIs) who subsequently received, due to poor results, auditory brainstem implants (ABIs). Material and Methods --Between April 1997 and March 2003, 37 patients (age range 14 months to 70 years) were fitted with ABIs in our ENT Department. Fourteen subjects had neurofibromatosis type 2 and 23 were non-tumor patients who had cochlea or cochlear nerve disease. Five subjects had previously been treated with a CI and received an ABI owing to the poor results achieved. One child had bilateral undiagnosed cochlear nerve aplasia and one was suffering from auditory neuropathy; three adults had total cochlear ossification. Results --The open-set sentence recognition score (auditory-only mode) 6-8 months after ABI activation ranged from 0% to 100% in adults. In 1 subject the speech-tracking score was 56 words/min with the ABI. The two children who had achieved no hearing ability with their CI were able to detect sounds and words as early as 3 months after activation of the ABI. Conclusion --CI failure as a result of anatomical abnormalities can be remedied by an ABI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
