Auditory Brain Stem Implants (Auditory Brainstem Implants)

Multi-channel hearing devices typically used for patients who have tumors on the COCHLEAR NERVE and are unable to benefit from COCHLEAR IMPLANTS after tumor surgery that severs the cochlear nerve. The device electrically stimulates the nerves of cochlea nucleus in the BRAIN STEM rather than the inner ear as in cochlear implants.

1.	Neurofibromatosis 2 (Neurofibromatosis Type II) 09/01/2021 - "Auditory Brainstem Implants have been recommended as the gold standard in hearing rehabilitation of Neurofibromatosis Type 2 patients who lose hearing completely in both the ears and the cochlear nerves are not stimulable. " 03/01/2018 - "The objectives of this study were to demonstrate the safety of auditory brainstem implant (ABI) surgery and document the subsequent development of auditory and spoken language skills in children without neurofibromatosis type II (NFII). " 04/01/2015 - "Some studies show that neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) patients fit with auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) fail to achieve speech perception abilities similar to ABI recipients without NF2. " 01/01/2009 - "This study reviews the long-term results of auditory brainstem implant (ABI) in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) patients. " 07/01/2005 - "Previous studies have considered only patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) older than 12 years as candidates for an auditory brainstem implant (ABI). "
2.	Deafness (Deaf Mutism) 08/01/2018 - "In cases of pre- or postoperative deafness, restoration of hearing with auditory brainstem implant (ABI) or cochlear implant (CI) is a promising treatment option with normally better results in CI than in ABI. " 03/01/2021 - "From then on translational research enabled the developments respectively the new indications and reimbursement of CI-systems for bilateral CIs, CI in single sided deafness, the auditory brainstem implant, speech coding and signal processing advances, electrophysiologic measurements for evaluation of cochlear health, all within the classic CI category. " 01/01/2019 - "To evaluate long-term language development in children with prelingual deafness who received auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) compared with children who received cochlear implants (CIs) at the same hospital. " 01/01/2018 - "This is a retrospective review of the impact of an Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) on the audiological rehabilitation and tonal language development of pediatric patients with prelingual profound deafness in Hong Kong. " 01/01/2018 - "Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) can restore useful hearing to persons with deafness who cannot benefit from cochlear implants. "
3.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 07/01/2015 - "The objective of this study was to evaluate whether speech understanding in auditory brainstem implant (ABI) users who have a tumor pathology could be improved by the selection of a subset of electrodes that were appropriately pitch ranked and distinguishable. " 01/01/2021 - "Long-term use (>10years) was observed in several patients, though some ultimately required reimplantation with an auditory brainstem implant due to progressive tumor growth. " 12/01/2017 - "Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) were designed to restore hearing in deaf patients with auditory tumors or those unable to receive cochlear implants. " 02/01/2012 - "If the cochlear nerve is not preserved during tumor removal, the only hearing rehabilitation in these patients could be via an auditory brainstem implant (ABI). " 08/01/2008 - "Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) can provide excellent open set speech recognition in adults without auditory tumors. "
4.	Hearing Loss (Hearing Impairment) 10/01/2006 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in characterising cochlear nerve anomalies in auditory brainstem implant candidates with congenital hearing loss. " 02/01/2022 - "An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) represents an alternative for patients with profound hearing loss who are constrained from receiving a cochlear implant. " 01/01/2021 - "In this review, we discuss the auditory brainstem implant (ABI), which is a neuroprosthetic device being an advanced hearing aid in cases of bilateral, profound or complete hearing impairment due to a non-functional or absent cochlear nerve, or an inner ear malformation precluding cochlear implantation. " 11/19/2020 - "An Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) is a technique developed for patients with severe hearing loss. " 07/01/2020 - "Cochlear implants have been able to treat some types of hearing loss, but those related to cochlear nerve impairment made it necessary to find new ways to manage these deficits; leading to auditory brainstem implants (ABI). "
5.	Sensorineural Hearing Loss 01/01/2005 - "Electrical stimulation of the auditory pathway via a cochlear or an auditory brainstem implant has been proved to an effective and safe procedure in the treatment of many patients suffering from a profound sensorineural hearing loss of cochlear and retrocochlear origin. " 04/01/2019 - "An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is a surgically implanted central neural auditory prosthesis for the treatment of profound sensorineural hearing loss in children and adults who are not cochlear implant candidates due to a lack of anatomically intact cochlear nerves or implantable cochleae. " 01/01/2018 - "The number of patients receiving cochlear implants and auditory brainstem implants for severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss has rapidly increased. " 09/01/2011 - "Cochlear implants and auditory brainstem implant have made hearing rehabilitation possible in NF2 patients who had bilateral sensorineural hearing loss." 06/01/2007 - "Patients with extensive bilateral lesions of the auditory nerve have a profound and irreversible sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), which can only be overcome with individually-fitted auditory brain stem implants that directly stimulate the cochlear nuclei.
