Cochlear Implant Candidacy Support Tool Using Conjunctive Consolidation
This cohort study found that patients with hearing loss can be effectively stratified by likelihood of cochlear implant candidacy using routine audiometric data. This 4-level classification system offers a simple, clinically intuitive method to estimate candidacy probability, moving beyond binary screening and supporting personalized, data-driven decision-making between clinicians and patients.
