Abstract EN
A narrow bony cochlear nerve canal (BCNC) is associated with sensorineural hearing loss necessitating cochlear implantation (CI).
This study evaluated the implications of BCNC width for post-CI outcomes.
A total of 56 children who had received CIs were included.
The patients were divided into three groups according to the width of the BCNC (Group 1: diameter < 1.4 mm, n = 17 ; Group 2: diameter 1.4–2.0 mm, n = 14 ; Group 3: diameter > 2.0 mm, n = 25 ).
The post-CI speech performances were compared among the three groups according to BCNC width.
The correlation between BCNC width and post-CI speech performance was evaluated.
Logistic regression analysis was also performed to investigate factors that can impact post-CI speech performance.
Cochlear nerve deficiency (CND) occurred more frequently in Group 1.
Groups 1 and 2 had significantly worse post-CI outcomes.
Patients with intact cochlear nerves had significantly better post-CI outcomes than those with CND.
When the cochlear nerve was intact, patients with a narrower BCNC showed less favorable results.
Therefore, patients with either a narrow BCNC or CND seemed to have poorer outcomes.
A narrow BCNC is associated with higher CND rates and poor outcomes.
Measurement of BCNC diameter may help predict CI outcomes.
