Cochlear Implantation Outcomes in Older Adults, Ages 80–90+
CI speech recognition in the 80 to 89 and 90+ age range significantly improved from preoperative scores. No major speech recognition differences were identified between age groups. Age at implantation, abnormal cognitive screening, and comorbidity status did not influence speech perception, which suggests that candidacy in older adult CI patients should not be withheld strictly due to these parameters.
