The Risk of Becoming a Cochlear Implant Non-user or Minimal-user in a Patient Cohort From Denmark 2010-2022
The CI non-user rate was 4.2% and these patients experienced lower QoL compared with CI users. In addition, 5.5% of the patients were minimal-users. In adults with abnormal cochlear anatomy, an increased risk of non-use was identified, reflecting the need for thorough information regarding surgical outcomes in this specific subgroup of patients.
