Overview

Retrospective case series demonstrates satisfactory speech perception after cochlear implantation in children with unilateral hearing loss, suggesting implantation age does not limit benefit.

Key Points

  • Children with unilateral hearing loss achieve satisfactory speech perception following cochlear implantation, restoring functional binaural hearing regardless of loss duration.
  • Scores exceeding 50% on CNC speech perception tests occurred in 40% of pediatric recipients, demonstrating meaningful gains across multiple standardized outcome measures.
  • Retrospective case series across three academic institutions shows no correlation between unilateral hearing loss duration and auditory outcomes, highlighting varied candidacy factors.
