Abstract
This study gives an estimation of the long term outcome of a screening procedure for cochlear implant candidacy in hearing aid users.In a recent retrospective study, hearing aid performance and audiometric measures in 185 subjects (318 ears) were analyzed. In the context of 2 years follow-up, the outcome of the ipsilateral screening procedure was analyzed. For patients who did receive a cochlear implant, their audiometric outcome measures were viewed into relation to their preoperative results.From the 96 ears identified as cochlear implant candidates, 34 were provided with a cochlear implant. 222 ears were identified as hearing aid users. Only 4 of these 222 ears were provided with a cochlear implant. Cochlear implant recipients with a preoperative speech recognition score with hearing aids above zero showed a mean improvement of 65% points in Freiburg monosyllabics.The audiometry-based screening procedure enables an effective management of the referral process of cochlear implant candidates.
