“…Literature reports vary between 2.3% and 2804, (Dandy, 1941;Day, 1946;Wright, 1948;Lindsay, 1949;Castellano, 1951 ;Cawthorne & Hewlett, 1954;Altmann, 1955;Schuknecht, 1957; Barber, 1964). The frequency of bilateral cases increases greatly, however, with increasing duration of the disease, which was shown in a previous study (Stahle & Bergman, 1967), based on the same material.…”

HEARING IN MENIBRES DISEASE A S t u d y of P u r e -T o n e A u d i o g r a n i s i n 334 P a t i e n t sIn 334 patients with Menibre's disease the pure-tone audiograms were analysed, and the age at onset, onset symptoms and bilaterality were studied. The flat curve was niost coninion ( S O % ) , followed next by the rising curve (17%) and then the falling curve ( 1 2 % ) . The average hearing loss for the whole material was 52 dB. Patients with flat, rising and falling curves had hearing loss of approximately the same order of magnitude. Patients with rising and trough curves had, on the average, the shortest duration of disease. The hearing loss progressed most rapidly during the first year of the disease, after which only minor deterioration took place. The mean age for patients with falling curves was on the whole the same as for the whole material.Fluctuation of the auditory threshold was recorded with all types of curves, but was somewhat more common with rising and trough curves. Fluctuations were recorded in approximately half of the patients, regardless of the duration of the disease, and they were noted more often within the frequency range 250-1000 Hz than at higher frequencies.The average size of the recorded fluctuations was 20-30 dB, this being independent, on the whole, of the frequency range.The disease was bilateral in 14%. In half of these cases the second ear was involved either simultaneously or during the first year of illness. In the other half the second ear was affected after varying intervals of up to 20 years. In 77% of the patients the disease was manifested before the age of 51 years. The most coninion forni of onset of the disease was simultaneous hearing loss and vertigo. Vertigo alone as the onset syniptom was noted in 37% of the patients, and hearing loss in 22%. In twothirds of the latter patients the first vertigo attack occurred after an interval of one year or longer.

“…However, this is essential, particularly for the therapeutic decision, which can sometimes be made at the detriment of cochlear function. The reported frequency of bilateral forms varies from 2.3% for Castellano (12) to 78% for Jongkees et al (13), perhaps because diagnostic criteria differ widely and because follow-up is limited. Using clinical criteria, Paparella and Griebie (14) found a 32% rate of bilaterality in which half of the bilateral forms began in the first 2 years.…”

“…Disease is restricted to one ear in the majority of patients, 2 although estimates of bilaterality range from 2.3 to 73 per cent. 3,4 Nonetheless, the incidence of profound, bilateral hearing loss in patients with Ménière's disease remains low. Although hearing loss is fluctuant and progressive, even patients with end-stage Ménière's disease rarely develop profound sensorineural hearing loss.…”

Delayed cochlear implantation after surgical labyrinthectomy

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Changes to the cochlea and vestibule following surgical labyrinthectomy include cochlear ossification and obliteration of the vestibule. These issues have been thought to limit the potential for cochlear implantation, especially when there is a significant delay between the two procedures. However, delayed cochlear implantation, even decades after labyrinthectomy, remains a viable treatment option which can benefit selected patients.
