Electroconvulsive Therapy in Cochlear Implant Users
We report 2 successful cases of ECT in CI users, including the first reported case of bilateral ECT in a patient with bilateral cochlear implants. Further investigation into the safety of ECT in CI users is warranted to ensure that this crucial treatment modality remains available to this vulnerable patient cohort.
