Role of Diffusion Tensor-magnetic Resonance Imaging in Investigating Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Sponsor: Assiut University

Summary

DTI and auditory tractography can be incorporated into the diagnostic toolkit for patients who are scheduled to undergo cochlear implantation and whose standard assessments have been unable to determine the functional integrity of the auditory pathway. These techniques aid in decision-making processes regarding potential outcomes, determining the optimal side for implantation, providing counseling regarding the possibility of limited benefits from surgery, and considering alternative forms of rehabilitation. The investigators including patients with varying degrees of hearing loss, as well as patients with normal radiological findings who are scheduled for cochlear implantation. The ultimate goal is to create a comprehensive map across the entire hearing spectrum and validate the findings of this study..
