9–11 Yaş Grubu Koklear İmplantlı Çocukların Genel Zeka, Duygusal Zeka, Zihin Kuramı, Duygu Tanıma, Yüz İfadesi Tanıma ve Uyum Becerilerinin İncelenmesi

In this study cochlear implanted children aged 9 to 11 years old were examined in general intelligence performances, emotional intelligence performances, emotion recognition and expression from facial expressions skills, theory of mind and adaptation skills. The sample includes 66 cochlear implanted children, their parents and their school teachers. Children s intelligence was assessed with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV (WISC-IV). Emotional intelligence performance of children was evaluated with Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (EQ-i:YV) which was filled out by parents and psychological adaptation evaluation was collected from parents with Hacettepe Psychological Adaptation Scale. Participant s social adaptation skills were assessed with Meadow Kendall Social-Emotional Assessment Inventory for Deaf Students which were filled by teachers.Bu çalışmada koklear implant kullanan 9-11 yaşlar arasındaki çocuklar genel zeka, duygusal zeka, duygu tanıma, yüz ifadelerinden duygu tanıma ve adlandırma, zihin kuramı ile uyum becerileri açısından incelenmiştir. 66 koklear implant yapılmış çocuk, aileleri ve öğretmenleri örneklemi oluşturmuştur. Çocukların zeka değerlendirmesi Wechsler Çocuklar için Zeka Ölçeği-IV (WÇZÖ-IV) ile yapılmıştır. Duygusal zeka ölçümleri Bar-On Duygusal Zeka Ölçeği: Çocuk ve Ergen Formu nu anne-babaların doldurmasıyla, ruhsal uyum değerlendirmesi de aynı şekilde ebeveynlerin Hacettepe Ruhsal Uyum Ölçeği ni doldurmasıyla elde edilmiştir. Katılımcıların sosyal duygusal uyumları ise Meadow-Kendall Sağır ve İşitme Engelli Öğrenciler için Sosyal-Duygusal Değerlendirme Envanteri nin (SDDE) öğretmenler tarafından doldurulması yoluyla değerlendirilmiştir

Consensus statement: Long-term results of ABI in children with complex inner ear malformations and decision making between CI and ABI

7th IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics, APACE 2016 -- 11 December 2016 through 13 December 2016 -- 127632‘Second Consensus Meeting on Management of Complex Inner Ear Malformations: Long Term Results of ABI in Children and Decision Making Between CI and ABI’ took place on 5–6 April 2013 in Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus with the participation of 20 centers from 11 countries. These centers presented their auditory brainstem implantation (ABI) experience in children and infants and also provided the selection criteria and cochlear implant (CI) results in patients with an abnormal cochlea and nerve. In addition, Cochlear and Med El companies provided presentations regarding solutions to problems during revision surgery and future projections of device technology. According to the results from different centers, it was evident that an ABI is capable of providing hearing sensation in prelingually deafened children with complex inner ear malformations and diseases. It is possible to obtain a pure tone average with an ABI between 30 and 60 dB HL in most of these patients. It has been observed that the majority of children obtain Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) scores around 5, but occasionally certain ABI users obtained scores of up to CAP 8-II, NEAP-Nottingham Early Assessment Package. The Ear Foundation 2009). CAP scores tend to increase with earlier implantation, i.e. under 2 years of age. However, after 3 years of use, it usually reaches a plateau. Children with additional disorders cannot reach CAP scores of children without disorders. However, they obtain an improvement of cognitive functions but duration of ABI use and increasing chronological age also play a role in this improvement
