| description | Introduction: Cochlear implant indications have changed during the last decade. The objective tests are
important in the cochlear implantation procedure. Purpose of the study: We proposed an evaluation for the
objective tests in establishing a corect indication for cochlear implant in patients with bilateral sensorineural
deafness. Materials and methods: We studied a group of 34 patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss
tested by subjective and objective methods for an eventual cochlear implantation. Results: 74% of the patients
presented a profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, 15% a severe type, 4% medium, 3% fluctuant and 4%
cofosis. The examined patients fulfill the auditory criteria that justify the cochlear implant procedure.
Discussions: The evaluation by subjective tests is followed by objective tests, offering provative evidence in
clear cases and also in unclear ones. As a supplimentary measure, all the patients evaluated by subjective tests in
establishing the possibility for cochlear implantations received at least one objective form of testing.
Conclusions: Currently, the objective tests represent an important step in the reccomandation for cochlear
implant. In all cases (excepting young children) the objective tests are compared/correlated with the subjective
tests before the implantation procedure, specially with the subjective evaluation by a conventional prosthesis. |
