Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neuroscience
  • Audiology

Context:

  • Severe to profound hearing loss impacts auditory perception.
  • Multi-channel cochlear implants offer a solution for hearing restoration.
  • Previous research indicates rapid speech understanding improvements post-implantation in adults.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate speech understanding outcomes in post-lingually deafened adults receiving cochlear implants.
  • To assess the efficacy of MED-EL COMBI 40 and COMBI 40+ devices over 12 months.

Summary:

  • 32 post-lingually deafened adults in Spain were fitted with MED-EL COMBI 40 or COMBI 40+ cochlear implants.
  • Speech perception tests were administered at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-fitting.
  • Results demonstrated highly significant improvements in speech perception across all time points.
