Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Temporal bone (TB) fractures are a significant cause of audiovestibular dysfunction.
  • Profound hearing impairment can result from bilateral TB fractures, impacting quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of cochlear implantation in patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss secondary to bilateral temporal bone fractures.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation of four patients with bilateral TB fractures and profound hearing loss.
  • Cochlear implantation was performed on all patients.
  • Post-implantation audiological assessment and speech understanding evaluation were conducted.

Main Results:

  • All four patients became regular users of their cochlear implants.
  • No instances of facial nerve stimulation were reported.
  • Implant-aided audiometry revealed a hearing threshold of 28 dB HL.
  • Speech understanding performance was comparable to that of standard postlingual adult cochlear implant recipients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cochlear implantation is a viable and effective rehabilitative option for patients experiencing profound sensorineural hearing loss due to temporal bone fractures.
    • The procedure offers significant improvements in hearing thresholds and speech comprehension in this patient cohort.
