Summary

Cochlear implants significantly improve speech comprehension for adults with residual hearing who benefit little from hearing aids. This study suggests expanding cochlear implant indications to include these patients.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Otolaryngology

Context:

  • Cochlear implants are standard for postlingually deafened adults.
  • Expanding indications to patients with residual hearing is under investigation.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate cochlear implant outcomes in patients with residual hearing.
  • To compare their results with postlingually deafened cochlear implant users.

Summary:

  • Five patients with residual hearing and limited benefit from hearing aids received cochlear implants.
  • Postoperative results showed significant improvements in speech comprehension in quiet and noise.
  • Patients reported high satisfaction and telephone use.

Impact:

  • Multichannel cochlear implants offer significant speech comprehension benefits for patients with residual hearing.

  • This supports considering cochlear implantation for individuals with limited hearing aid efficacy.
  • Current audiological criteria include <30% monosyllabic word intelligibility at 70 dB with hearing aids.
