Abstract:
In a study on 36 cochlear implant patients questionnaires answered pre- and postsurgically were analyzed. One year after implantation patients demonstrated significant changes on some of the test items. Although results show that the patients accept their device, some of their wishes and hopes remain unsatisfied.
