Objective: The main objective of this clinical capsule was to outline the narrative of three teen cochlear implant (CI) users who experienced a sudden increase in their CI electrode impedance values, which coincided with decreased overall speech perception ability. In addition, the study explored the following questions: Are there any similarities between cases? What recommendations should be made for continuing treatment regarding these cases?
Patients: Three teenagers who reported sudden change in CI benefit were included in this study.
Interventions: Electrode impedance values and speech identification scores were obtained routinely during the CI mapping appointments.
