Abstract:

Auditory nerve dysplasia (AND) can encompass various conditions of the auditory nerve (AN), ranging from true aplasia to hypoplasia. The purpose of this review is to discuss the prospect of cochlear implantation (CI) and subsequent auditory speech rehabilitation for AN abnormality. Studies of different authors when working with this category of children, possible results and methods of diagnostics of the AN condition are presented.

Keywords:

cochlear implantation
auditory nerve aplasia and hypoplasia
inner ear anomaly
auditory nerve diagnosis
