Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a questionnaire using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to help speech-language therapists (SLTs) measure outcomes for cochlear implant (CI) patients.
- Six SLTs assessed 48 patients over three time points (before surgery, after surgery, and 6 months post-CI) using 20 selected ICF criteria, after receiving training on its application.
- The results indicated significant improvements in auditory perception, attentional focus, daily task performance, and social engagement after CI care, highlighting the importance of incorporating speech therapy metrics in evaluating CI success.
The aim of this survey was to gather data from both implant recipients and professionals on the ease of use of the Naída CI Q70 (Naída CI) sound processor from Advanced Bionics and on the usefulness of the new functions and features available. A secondary objective was to investigate fitting practices with the new processor. A comprehensive user satisfaction survey was conducted in a total of 186 subjects from 24 centres.
