| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: A significant portion of the Ménière's disease (MD) population will ultimately have severe-to-profound hearing loss in their affected ear. When this occurs bilaterally or when a patient has poor hearing in the contralateral ear, these patients may meet criteria for cochlear implantation (CI). Here, we describe our institution's CI outcomes in MD patients. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective chart and literature review. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Twenty-one patients with either bilateral MD or unilateral MD who underwent CI in their ear affected with MD. INTERVENTION(S): Cochlear implantation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Postoperative speech perception. RESULTS: Results for the MD patients were also compared with a standard sample of 178 adult recipients implanted with newest generation technology. Collapsing across status of MD activity, there was a significant difference between the MD CNC word recognition scores and that of the standard sample (43.2 versus 59.1%, p = 0.02). When separating the MD patients into groups according to the status of disease activity, those with active MD achieved scores that were not significantly different from the standard sample (55.7 versus 59.1%, p = 0.94), although those without active MD were significantly different from the standard group (38.2 versus, p = 0.002). Patients undergoing surgical or ablative procedures for their MD symptoms had statistically significant improvement in their CI hearing outcomes compared with those who did not (CNC words: p = 0.014; CNC phonemes: p = 0.035). Six patients had persistent vertiginous symptoms of MD before CI. After CI, 2 had complete resolution of vertigo, 3 had subjective improvement in their symptoms, and 1 noticed no change. CONCLUSION: Ménière's disease patients' hearing outcomes seem to be worse than the general CI population. However, those with active MD perform similarly to the general CI population. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
