Abstract
Introduction: Cochlear implant reimplantation (CIR) for external processor upgrade or device failure is becoming increasingly common as the population of cochlear implant recipients ages. Patients with Advanced Bionics (AB) Clarion 1.2 cochlear implants may undergo CIR for device age/failure or desired technology upgrade so that they may use newer external processors that have improved connectivity features. The objective of this study was to evaluate audiologic outcomes for patients who were initially implanted with an AB Clarion 1.2 internal device and underwent CIR for technology upgrade or device failure.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed at a single academic medical center for patients (pediatric and adult) with an AB Clarion 1.2 internal device who underwent CIR to a later generation AB internal device and had available audiologic data.
Results: Forty-eight individuals with a Clarion 1.2 implant underwent CIR. Pre- and post-CIR speech understanding did not change for AzBio (p-value = 0.11, mean change = 12.1%, 95% CI = -2.9-27.2%), CNCw (p-value = 0.74, mean change = -1%, 95% CI = -10.4-12.4%), or HINT (p-value = 0.12, mean change = 19.9%, 95% CI = -2.6-42.4%) scores. Pure-tone averages improved following CIR (p-value < 0.01, mean change = 4.3 dB, 95% CI = 1.5-7.1 dB).
Conclusions: Revision of AB Clarion 1.2 cochlear implants does not significantly worsen audiologic outcomes and may improve hearing in some individuals, but individual patient-level outcomes are variable.
期刊介绍:
Cochlear Implants International was founded as an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal in response to the growing number of publications in the field of cochlear implants. It was designed to meet a need to include scientific contributions from all the disciplines that are represented in cochlear implant teams: audiology, medicine and surgery, speech therapy and speech pathology, psychology, hearing therapy, radiology, pathology, engineering and acoustics, teaching, and communication. The aim was to found a truly interdisciplinary journal, representing the full breadth of the field of cochlear implantation.
