The success of cochlear implantation can be evaluated with audiological measurements and quality of life questionnaires. Our aim was to translate and introduce the Cochlear Implant Function Index (CIFI) test to analyze the physical, psychological and social state of our cochlear implant patients. Between 01. 11. 2016 and 31. 05. 2018, 30 patients filled the questionnaire before and 6 and 12 months after the implantation. Results showed a remarkable improvement in the quality of life in several patients even after 6 months. Further improvements could be measured after 12 months. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(33): 1296-1303.

Background: Cochlear implants (CIs) are neuroprosthetic devices which restore hearing in severe-to-profound hearing loss through electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Current CIs use an externally worn audio processor. A long-term goal in the field has been to develop a device in which all components are contained within a single implant.

Purpose: Variations in neural survival along the cochlear implant electrode array leads to off-place listening, resulting in poorer speech understanding outcomes for recipients. Therefore, it is important to develop and compare clinically viable tests to identify these patient-specific intra-cochlear neural differences.
Methods: Nineteen experienced cochlear implant recipients (9 males and 10 females) were recruited for this study.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine factors that influence postoperative rehabilitation outcomes in children with cochlear implants, using a knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) framework.
Design: A total of 683 children with cochlear implants participated in this study. Hearing and speech assessments were conducted through face-to-face and/or telephone interviews, while parents' or guardians' KAP were assessed following detailed instructions provided beforehand.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the long-term auditory and speech outcomes in children with Incomplete Partition Type I (IP-I) who underwent cochlear implantation (CI) and compared their progress to implanted children with normal cochlea.
Methods: This study tracked 17 children with IP-Ι for an average of 3.5 years post-implantation.
