Abstract:
The results of cochlear implantation of 28 patients were compared with theoretical prognosis based on a mathematical formula, consisting of: speech competence, duration of deafness in the ear to be operated on, speech comprehension for numbers and the threshold for electrical stimulation using a promontorial electrode. Since the evaluation of this formula, 19 further cases have been operated on, confirming the usefulness of this prognostic scheme.
