Health Tip: Cochlear Implant May Help Profoundly Deaf
March 14, 2006 08:45:46 PM PST
(HealthDay News) -- A cochlear implant is a device for severely-to-profoundly deaf people who do not benefit from traditional hearing aids.
It's designed to produce hearing sensations by electrically stimulating nerves inside the inner ear.
But the device doesn't work for everyone. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, factors that can determine the success of a cochlear implant include:
How long the person has been deaf (those with a shorter-term problem tend to do better than those who have been without hearing a long time).
How old the person is when the device is implanted (younger patients tend to do better).
The health and structure of the person's inner ear.
Health Tip: If Your Child Gets Chicken Pox
March 14, 2006 08:45:46 PM PST
(HealthDay News) -- Chicken pox is a highly contagious viral disease that mostly affects children younger than age 10.
Someone with chicken pox typically is covered with itchy, fluid-filled blisters that burst and form crusts. Children with the disease are usually sent home from school for about a week.
While antiviral medicines may help alleviate symptoms, the benefit these medicines give may not outweigh their considerable cost, the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) says.
In most cases, any treatment should keep children comfortable while letting their bodies fight the disease on their own, the agency says. An antihistamine can help ease the itching, as can a topical lotion.
The NLM warns that a child with chicken pox should never be given aspirin, which has been associated with a deadly condition called Reyes syndrome among chicken pox patients.
