Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Chronic otitis media (COM) can cause profound sensorineural hearing loss.
  • Patients with COM may require cochlear implantation, necessitating careful surgical consideration.
  • Co-existing COM presents unique challenges for cochlear implant candidates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the risks and complications of cochlear implantation in patients with COM.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of cochlear implantation in this specific patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Cochlear implantation was performed in six patients with COM or infected radical cavity and profound hearing loss.
  • Procedures included five two-stage and one single-stage operation.
  • All surgeries were followed by an uneventful observation period.

Main Results:

  • Cochlear implantation was successfully performed in all six patients.
  • No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed.
  • Follow-up periods were uneventful, indicating successful integration and function.

Conclusions:

  • Cochlear implantation can be safely performed in patients with COM.
  • Strict adherence to specific surgical guidelines is crucial for successful outcomes.
  • This approach offers a viable solution for profound hearing loss in COM patients.
