Summary

This study found no significant link between cochlear implant (CI) ear placement and a patient's handedness in adults. However, matching the dominant ear may still offer benefits for CI users.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Audiology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Context:

  • Dominant ear properties for speech and music differ between right-handed and left-handed individuals, with variations observed between sexes.
  • Cochlear implant (CI) efficacy is primarily assessed through speech intelligibility, reflecting social reintegration and communication abilities.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the potential correlation between the implanted ear side and patient handedness on post-operative CI performance.
  • To assess if handness influences speech intelligibility outcomes in post-lingually deafened adults receiving cochlear implants.

Summary:

  • A study of 71 post-lingually deafened adults using the Edimburg questionnaire for handness and the Francophone Protocol for performance.
  • No significant correlation was found between the implanted ear side and post-operative speech intelligibility performance.

  • The study suggests that while no direct correlation exists, selecting the dominant ear for implantation may be theoretically advantageous and practical for antenna adjustment.

    • Impact:

    • The findings indicate that current CI ear selection protocols may not need to prioritize handedness for adults.
    • Recommendations suggest considering the dominant ear for implantation when feasible, especially given potential practical benefits.
    • The study highlights complexities in CI ear selection for young children, particularly those with congenital deafness and left-handedness.
