    Vienna

    Area of Science:

    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Audiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • The cochlear implant program in Vienna has accumulated extensive experience.
    • The program utilizes both extracochlear and intracochlear implant prostheses.
    • A significant portion of patients experienced prelingual deafness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of cochlear implant prostheses.
    • To assess the outcomes of a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
    • To analyze speech understanding in postlingually deafened patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Experience with 25 extracochlear and 31 intracochlear implant patients.
    • Utilizing a sound processor with analog broad-band stimulation.
    • Employing electrical promontory stimulation and brain-stem audiometry for selection.

  • Assessing results with the Vienna Auditory Test battery.

    • Main Results:

    • Sixty percent of postlingually deafened patients achieved open-set speech understanding without lip-reading.
    • Sixty-five percent of users demonstrated improved aided speech understanding compared to lip-reading alone.
    • The rehabilitation program, including counseling and auditory training, is integral.

    Conclusions:

    • Cochlear implantation in Vienna yields significant speech understanding improvements.
    • The analog broad-band stimulation processor and comprehensive rehabilitation are key factors.
    • The program demonstrates success in both prelingually and postlingually deafened individuals.
