Abstract
The Nucleus Mini System 22 cochlear implant has been implanted in over 2,000 children worldwide. Selection criteria have evolved similar to that for adults since implantation in children began in 1985. The appropriate selection of children for implantation is made by a professional pediatric team which considers audiological and non-audiological issues in determining if the child is a cochlear implant candidate. The main philosophy is to establish if the child has the potential to benefit from a cochlear implant.
