Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Audiology
  • Medical Technology

Context:

  • Advancements in cochlear implant technology have led to improved outcomes for deaf patients.
  • A growing number of deaf individuals with residual hearing face complex auditory rehabilitation choices.
  • Conventional auditory prostheses may not always provide optimal results for these patients.

Purpose:

  • To present clinical experience and practice regarding cochlear implants at the Centre romand d'implants cochléaires.
  • To address the complex decision-making process for auditory rehabilitation in patients with residual hearing.
  • To discuss the legal considerations associated with cochlear implantation.

Summary:

  • Cochlear implants now outperform conventional auditory prostheses in word recognition scores for many deaf patients.
