| description | Cochlear implantation (CI) has been established as a safe and effective method of rehabilitation of the profoundly hearingimpaired patients, who derive insufficient benefit from traditional amplification. The purpose of this report is to share our experience with intracochlear multichannel devices, describe the rationale of our surgical approach, report on the problems and complications encountered in establishing CI program and discuss our viewpoint with suggestions. Sixty-seven patients (40 women [60%] and 27 men [40%]) with an average age of 21.8 years (range, 1.5 to 67 years) have been implanted between November 1995 and August 2000. The patients consisted of 30 infants (average age 6.7 years, range 1.5 to 14 years; 20 female and 10 male patients) and 37 adults (average age 34 years, range 15 to 67 years; 20 female and 17 male patients). We performed CI in patients with cochlear ossification (n=5) and cochlear otosclerosis (n=4). We experienced the implantation in patients with high risk of complications (Wegener’s granulomatosis, Usher’s syndrome, chronic renal failure, chronic otitis media and Mondini’s deformity). Complications were detected during the follow-up period, the majority of which were minor and self-limiting, or amenable to medical therapy. Cochlear implant makes a very perceptible improvement in patient’s quality of life. Further research and development in surgery and hardware is a dynamic form of rehabilitation for the deaf. |
