Overview

Randomized trial evaluates speech perception improvements in adult cochlear implant recipients with low scores, indicating potential for success.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the postoperative speech perception outcomes in adult cochlear implant recipients with low word recognition scores.
  • Retrospective analysis of 15 implanted ears with complete audiological records from October 2012 to April 2025.
  • Assessment of monosyllabic speech audiometry under optimal hearing aid conditions.
  • Comparison of preoperative and postoperative word recognition scores at conversational levels.
  • Average WRS at conversational levels improved from 41% preoperatively to 78% postoperatively (p<0.05).
  • Significant speech perception improvement was observed despite preoperative maximum WRS of 50%.
  • Indicates potential for cochlear implants in patients traditionally considered outside candidacy criteria.
