A questionnaire based study including 15 number of participants, who were the parents of cochlear implantees attending Auditory Verbal Therapy at the hospital. A questionnaire containing 19 questions were developed in Malayalam. The questions addressed few aspects concerning family dynamics and its relation to child's performance in Auditory Verbal Therapy. The questionnaire included free-response questions, fixed answers and yes/ no questions. The validated questionnaire was given directly to the parents who are accompanying children for therapy. This study demonstrated positive influence of family member's involvement in Auditory Verbal Therapy. These findings will provide assistance during the initial counselling of the families before the enrolment in AVT sessions.

The incidence of Congenital Middle ear Anomalies (CMEAs) is around 0.28 per 100,000 persons (2). The CMEAs can occur unilaterally or bilaterally. This article aimed to profile the audiological and radiological findings and test battery approach which helped to diagnose ossicular fixation in a 4 year old child.

One of the most common sequelae of meningitis which has high impact on general functioning is hearing loss, either unilateral or bilateral, and varying from mild to profound. This article aimed to profile a case of 14 year old cochlear implant user who presented with hearing impairment in both ears, post meningitis with bilateral labyrinthine ossification. The patient underwent scala vestibuli insertion of cochlear implant. Scala vestibuli insertion of cochlear implantation showed significant improvement in speech perception in this case with extensive fibrosis and ossification of the basal turn of left cochlea. Scala vestibuli insertion offers a valuable alternative in cases of obstructed scala tympani that can be employed for a variety of etiologies.
