OBJECTIVE: To assess auditory brainstem implant (ABI) outcomes in children with a prospective study.
METHODS: Twelve patients with cochlear nerve deficiency received an auditory brainstem implant. Patients were evaluated with age appropriate speech perception and production assessments, and health related quality of life (HRQoL) surveys for parents of subjects and for subjects if age appropriate.
RESULTS: Twelve patients received an ABI without major complications. Eleven out of twelve received some auditory benefit from their ABI. Parental HRQoL ratings were positive for all domains with the exception of communication. Self reported overall HRQoL metrics from two subjects were also positive.
CONCLUSIONS: ABI is a good option for patients who are not eligible for or fail CI. Our findings show that despite varying degrees of postoperative performance, HRQoL ratings were positive. The presence of additional disabilities and health problems resulted in less positive HRQoL outcomes. Our results emphasize the need to assess outcomes in these patients beyond speech perception and communication.
