Abstract

The indications for cochlear implantation (CI) have expanded over the last few years. There is evidence that some adult patients with pre- or perilingual onset of deafness may gain from implantation. Similarly, CI in patients with single-sided deafness may offer significant benefits in terms of quality of life and social as well as academic development. In this setting, directional hearing may be restored and speech comprehension, especially in noise, may be optimized. In patients with intractable tinnitus and profound hearing loss, CI not only improves speech perception, but also helps to reduce the tinnitus in the deaf ear.

人工耳蜗植入的扩展应用。

人工耳蜗植入术(CI)的适应症在过去几年中已经扩大。有证据表明，一些患有舌前或舌周耳聋的成年患者可能会从植入中获益。同样，单侧耳聋患者的CI可能在生活质量、社交和学术发展方面提供显著的益处。在这种情况下，定向听力可能会恢复，言语理解，特别是在噪音中，可能会得到优化。对于顽固性耳鸣和重度听力损失的患者，CI不仅可以改善语言感知，还可以帮助减少耳鸣。
