Cochlear implants (CIs) now benefit a wider range of patients, including prelingually deaf adults, young children, and those with residual hearing. Advancements also include bimodal and bilateral cochlear implantation, and auditory brainstem implants for specific cases.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Cochlear implant (CI) indications have expanded significantly over the past two decades.
  • Improvements in CI technology, surgical safety, and positive clinical outcomes have driven this expansion.
  • The review focuses on the evolving landscape of CI candidacy as of 2007.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the established and emerging indications for cochlear implantation.
  • To highlight advancements in CI technology and surgical procedures.
  • To discuss alternative auditory restoration devices like auditory brainstem implants.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practices regarding cochlear implant indications.
  • Analysis of patient outcomes and technological advancements.

  • Categorization of indications into classical, emerging, and specialized cases.

    • Main Results:

    • Unilateral cochlear implantation in postlingually deaf adults remains a standard indication.
    • Indications now include prelingually deaf adults and children under one year old.
    • Emerging indications include adults with residual hearing (sentence recognition <70%), bimodal CI use, bilateral implantation, implantation in malformed cochleae, and auditory brainstem implants.

    Conclusions:

    • Cochlear implantation is increasingly versatile, addressing a broader spectrum of hearing loss.
    • Technological and surgical advancements continue to expand the potential benefits of cochlear implants.
    • Auditory brainstem implants offer a viable option for individuals with absent auditory nerves or failed CI surgeries.
