Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cochlear implantation has become the standard method for the rehabilitation of patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss. The degree of auditory benefit following cochlear implantation is affected by pre-, per-, and postoperative variables and shows individual variability. Since various studies about the predictive variables have been reported, efficacy of some variables is proven and new prognostic variables are being suggested as device technology and surgical/medical technique is developed. The comprehensive pre-implant assessment by identifying potentially limiting variables could be fundamental to counseling of candidacy and prediction of outcome with cochlear implant.
