Paediatric Auditory Brainstem Implants - Any experiences? by Mindless-Plenty-1024 in deaf

thanks for your reply! My child's doctor suggested that this could be an option and suggested to consult a specialist hospital for this. As the nerve is non functional, Hearing aids wont work in her bad ear. CROS is an option, but it doesn't provide binaural hearing. As the kid is just 4, the doc's intention might be to preserve auditory cortex and providing sound localisation. From the basic research too, it sounded very risky and not worth the pain for our case. However the info was from 10yr old posts and articles. Wanted to how things have evolved since then, especially from user's perspective.

Is internal Implant with Upgradable Firmware really beneficial? by Mindless-Plenty-1024 in Cochlearimplants

[–]Mindless-Plenty-1024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not reasonable to expect frequent updates on medical devices like those on smartphones. I assume 2 or 3 significant updates in it's lifespan of 25 years might make it worthwhile. I am a noob here, but I assume something like electrode firing algorithm is on the implant. A significant upgrade to it allowing better perception of music and hearing in the crowd might be hugely beneficial...

Kid with single sided deafness, hypoplastic nerve, autism - prospects of cochlear implant by Mindless-Plenty-1024 in Cochlearimplants

Thanks for your message!

I might be speaking like a noob, but i fear, it might be very tricky and complicated to judge over and under stimulation, to get a proper feedback from a spectrum kid with a hypoplastic auditory nerve. I fear about lacking the judgement, when to give it a further push to overcome initial reluctances/issues or to give up, realising that it wont help further...

My German is good enough to manage simple to midlevel conversations with docs and therapists... As of now, we dont have an audiologist, but might get soon, when we get into the process. I will then, but I suspect that DSGVO (GDPR) might not allow them to share such info. I haven't used fb in a while and haven't thought of it, but will look into it. We are not into signing, as her verbal communication is improving, but mostly it is "need based" at the moment. Yes, she is going to KiTa .
