[Audiologic rehabilitation of patients with cochlear implants]

[Article in German]
S Hoth et al. HNO. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

The outcome and success of rehabilitation of patients with cochlear implants (CIs) is determined to a large extent by the preoperative diagnostics and individual fitting of the speech processor and is assessed by the auditory performance of the CI recipient. Due to the wide spectrum of auditory abilities of recipients and to the large variability with respect to their age and experience, the postoperative audiologic assessment is based on a large battery of subjective tests and objective measures. The results of these functional tests are used for documenting the level of rehabilitation, and they determine the actions taken for fine-tuning the fitting of the speech processor.
