Long-Term Results of Cochlear Implantation in Single-Sided Deaf Patients: Influence of Duration of Deafness and Age at Onset of Deafness
The timing of hearing loss influences cochlear implant user rates. Patients who acquired single-sided deafness above the age of 10 years use the device regularly even if the duration of deafness was more than 10 years. This challenges the 10-year cutoff for cochlear implant indication. Furthermore, results show good long-term hearing thresholds and speech understanding for cochlear implant patients who use their device regularly.
