Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate cochlear implant performance after patients underwent reimplantation using a different manufacturer's device.
- A total of 29 patients were analyzed, showing a drop in average CNC speech recognition scores before reimplantation but a recovery to comparable levels following the procedure.
- The findings indicate that reimplantation with a new device can lead to similar speech recognition performance as the original device, without significant statistical differences in outcomes.
Objective: This study aimed 1) to measure the effect of cochlear implantation on health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) using the Cochlear Implant Quality of Life (CIQOL) questionnaire and 2) to determine audiologic, demographic, and non-CI/hearing-related QOL factors influencing the CIQOL.
Study Design: Prospective observational study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Objective: To evaluate outcomes of cochlear implantation of patients with otosclerosis of the otic capsule.
Study Design: A retrospective case series of 6 patients (7 ears).
Patients: 6 patients (7 ears), 5 patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss; 1 patient with mild to profound sensorineural hearing loss, with radiologic evidence of otosclerosis.
