POSTERSbone. The recovery of hearing function can occur with the application of a cochlear implant. The functional results will depend on the presence of neurological or neuropsychological alterations both morphological at cochlear level.
Method:We present four cases of postverbal total deafness subsequent to single and/or bilateral fracture of the temporal bone who underwent cochlear implantation from 2000 to 2009. Two patients had monolateral anacusia with onset in childhood contralateral to the fracture, and 2 patients had injuries with bilateral fracture of the petrosal bone.
