Implication

Retrospective cohort study shows sequential cochlear implantation improves speech perception scores in adults with bilateral deafness, including those 65 and older.

Key Points

Examine the outcomes and longitudinal trends of sequential cochlear implants in adults with bilateral deafness.
Retrospective cohort study at a tertiary academic center
Included adult patients with bilateral hearing loss receiving sequential bilateral cochlear implants
Comparative analysis of speech perception scores after first- and second-side CI using multiple auditory tests.
162 individuals were included in the study
Mean improvements were 11.8 points for AzBio, 6.7 for HINT, and 12.0 for CNC-W after second-sided CI
No significant changes in CI-1 implant age or audiometric scores, but decreased inter-implant interval was noted.
