Cochlear implants in children--a review

Thomas J Balkany et al. Acta Otolaryngol. 2002 Jun.

Abstract

Over the past two decades, cochlear implantation has become a widely accepted treatment of deafness in children. Over 20,000 children have received cochlear implants worldwide. Hearing, language and social development outcomes have been positive. We review current issues in cochlear implantation, candidacy, evaluation, surgery, habilitation, ethics and outcomes.
