Article Synopsis
- A recent study investigated outcomes for children with cochlear implants affected by a Field Corrective Action (FCA), focusing on device failure rates and speech improvement after revisions.
- The study included 27 pediatric patients from March 2017 to January 2020, finding that 73% of the implants failed, with a majority undergoing revision surgery.
- Despite the high failure rate, speech recognition scores after revision surgery did not show significant improvement compared to before, indicating that the speech outcomes remained stable, potentially due to thorough monitoring and support from a specialized team.*
