Objective: Multicenter evaluation of the quality of life and quality of hearing after Nucleus® cochlear implant placement in patients over 60 years of age.
Reference And Method: Evaluation was performed in patients receiving cochlear implants after the age of 60 years as a part of the Cochlear-Implanted Recipient Observational Study (Cochlear-IROS). This study is a prospective, international and long-term assessment which enables observation of recipients for up to three years after implantation.
The Aim: This work was to compare an innovative solution, i.e. a fully biodegradable nasal packing Nasopore®, with a traditional one, in the aftercare of patients subjected to functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

- This study aimed to assess the stability of bone conduction implants in children using ISQ values, while also monitoring soft tissue status.
- The research involved 22 children under 18, who received Cochlear implants through a one-stage surgical procedure in Poland.
- Results indicated that the average age of patients was around 9.8 years, with the lowest implant stability recorded 7-10 days post-surgery, but no significant decline in stability was observed after the sound processors were loaded.
Objective: To assess the hearing impairment in people over 60 years old using hearing aids. This was a single-center study, but it is planned to extend it further to the whole country.
Materials And Methods: The study was focused on patients with hearing aids.
Aim Of The Study: To collect and analyze epidemiological and demographical data of patients qualified for and implanted with the Baha® system in Poland.
Material And Method: 17 out of 28 otolaryngology departments performing Baha® implantation in Poland participated in the study. Up to date there were 286 patients registered in database.
