Abstract
Objective:
The purpose of this study is to present follow-up on a previously reported case of successful cochlear implantation in a patient with superficial siderosis.
Study Design:
Retrospective case review.
Results:
For the first 6 years after implantation, the patient had maintained a successful result; however, she developed a progressive decline in the benefit from her implant.
Conclusion:
Benefit from cochlear implants in patients with superficial siderosis is variable and may not be long standing.
