Trends in hearing·2016

Pediatric cochlear implants significantly improve hearing in children, especially when done early and with prior hearing aid use. Complications and device failures are minimal and decreasing.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric audiology
  • Biomedical engineering

Context:

  • The Sheba Medical Center initiated its cochlear implant program in 1989 and a dedicated pediatric program in 1990.
  • This study analyzes outcomes for 286 pediatric patients who underwent cochlear implantation between 1990 and 2005.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of cochlear implantation in children.
  • To identify factors influencing hearing outcome and device performance in pediatric cochlear implant recipients.

Summary:

  • Cochlear implantation demonstrated significant improvements in hearing ability, facilitating integration into regular educational programs.
  • Optimal outcomes were observed in children implanted at a younger age and those with prior hearing aid experience.

  • Post-operative complications were infrequent, comparable to literature, with a decreasing trend in device failures due to technological advancements.

    • Impact:

    • Cochlear implantation is a life-changing intervention for pediatric hearing loss, enhancing communication and educational opportunities.
    • The findings support early intervention and provide valuable data on the long-term success of pediatric cochlear implant programs.
    • Ongoing improvements in device technology contribute to enhanced reliability and reduced failure rates in pediatric cochlear implants.
