Summary
Infants and children with clear candidacy for cochlear implants should receive simultaneous bilateral cochlear implants early for optimal auditory development. Atraumatic surgical techniques preserving cochlear function and allowing re-implantation are recommended.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pediatric Audiology
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Bilateral cochlear implantation in children is a rapidly evolving field.
- Understanding current consensus is crucial for clinical practice.
- Optimizing auditory development in pediatric hearing loss is a priority.
