temporal bone, Fracture, Cochlear implant, hearing aidAbstract
Temporal bone fracture and related sequelae may not represent the patient’s most immediately threatening problems. However, early involvement of the otolaryngologist in evaluation and management can improve long-term functional outcome.
Our goal is to describe a rare case of a patient who deafened by bilateral temporal bone fracture and achieved satisfactory aural rehabilitation with cochlear implantation and hearing aid.
The patient gave consent to publish the case.
