Evaluation of rehabilitation outcomes after cochlear implantation in later-implanted patients with prelingual deafness

Objective:To identify the changes in the quality of life and speech recognition ability of older pre-lingual deaf patients before and after cochlear implant surgery.Methods:A total of patients with pre-linguistic deafness who underwent unilateral cochlear implant surgery at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from February 2012 to November 2018 were taken as the research object.The CAP scale,SIR scale,and Nijmegen cochlear implant scale were used to assess the patient's condition for the quality of life before and 2 years after the operation,and compared the postoperative and preoperative scores were compared.At the same time,the angel language training was adopted.The auditory rehabilitation system and the Chinese open speech perception assessment system were used to test the speech recognition rate of patients before and 2 years after implantation.Results:The quality of life of patients undergoing cochlear implant surgery improved two years after the operation.CAP,SIR scores and NCIQ sub-fields(basic voice perception,advanced voice perception,speech ability,self-confidence,activity ability,and social communication)were significantly improved compared with those preoperatively,and the speech recognitionrate score was also improved.There was a significant correlation between the quality of life and speech recognition of the test patients.Conclusion:Cochlear implantation has a significant effect on improving the quality of life and speech recognition ability of older pre-linguistic deaf patients.The correlation between quality of life and speech recognition still needs to be further explored.Therefore,-,quality of life and language recognition are the assessment of older pre-linguistic deafness.The rehabilitation effect of patients after cochlear implantation needs to be considered at the same time.

Heidegger’s Metaphysics,a Theory of Human Perception:Neuroscience Anticipated,Thesis of Violent Man,Doctrine of the Logos

In this essay,our goal is to discover science in Martin Heidegger’s Introduction to Metaphysics,lecture notes for his 1935 summer semester course,because,after all,his subject is metaphysica generalis,or ontology,and this could be construed as a theory of the human brain.Here,by means of verbatim quotes from his text,we attempt to show that indeed these lectures can be viewed as suggestion for an objective scientific theory of human perception,the human capacity for deciphering phenomena,i.e.hermeneutics in its broadest sense.His added notes from the 1953 edition,all of which are comments,not corrections,imply that he never abandoned these thoughts on metaphysics,despite all of his utterances about a need to overcome it,and their popular interpretations to that effect.In his presentation,he further develops the colorful and intuitive style,an hermeneutic language,that he had created in his earlier work Being and Time.The logical functions of Dasein’s anatomical brain are performed by the logos machine,formerly the human soul,using top-down processing based on a global context,the noumenal cosmos which humans maintain internally.Heidegger’s 1942/43 winter semester lectures Parmenides extend in unbroken fashion his 1935 work,proving that he never abandoned,as is widely claimed,his metaphysical avenue of thought.
