Outcomes of Hearing Aid and Cochlear Implantation in Case of Congenital Non-Syndromic Bilateral Severe to Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss: An Observational Study.

This study was done to measure the outcomes of hearing aid (HA) and cochlear implantation (CI) in case of congenital non syndromic severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) by using aided audiometry (AA), categories of auditory perception (CAP) score and speech intelligibility rating (SIR) scale. The objectives were to find out the effective management options available for bilateral severe to profound SNHL, to study the impact of age of CI on language development and to study the outcome of HA and CI. Patients with congenital severe to profound SNHL were included in the study.
