[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] XLA and cochlear implant

[CIS-PIDD]

Dear colleagues.

I would truly appreciate your words of advise.

I am following a 11 year old boy, diagnosed with XLA (BTK mutation), who
also presents with bilateral neurosensorial hypoacusia. I believe it is not
secondary to infections or medication, I think it could be
deafness-dystonia opctic neuronopathy syndrome. The patient is on IVIG and
is generally doing well.

I have looked for information regarding the use of cochlear implants in
these patients. The information is scarce and I have found only a few case
reports, that suggest they usually don´t help.

I would like to know if you have experience with cochlear implants in XLA
patients and if so, is it helpful? Would you reccommend to try it with my
patient?

Thank you so much.

Best regards
