Cochlear implant reliability is crucial. Over 11 years, cumulative survival reached 91.7%, with failures often due to design or trauma, especially in children.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Device Reliability

Background:

  • Long-term cochlear implant (CI) reliability is vital for patients and clinical teams.
  • Cumulative survival rates, including all hard failures, provide objective CI reliability data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the long-term reliability of cochlear implants.
  • To identify common causes of cochlear implant failure.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 192 cochlear implants in adults (58) and children (134).
  • Calculation of cumulative implant survival rates.

Main Results:

  • Overall cumulative implant survival rate was 91.7% over 11 years.
  • Primary failure causes included design defects and trauma (especially in children), leading to device breakage.

Conclusions:

  • Further studies on long-term CI survival, encompassing all failure types, are needed.
  • CI reliability data should inform patient implant selection.
