Objective To evaluate the stability of long-term hearing performance after cochlear
implantation (CI) in postlingually deafened adults and to explore the boundaries and …

There is a high degree of variability in speech intelligibility outcomes across cochlear-
implant (CI) users. To better understand how auditory cognition affects speech intelligibility …

Objectives: The variability in outcomes of cochlear implantation is largely unexplained, and
clinical factors are not sufficient for predicting performance. Genetic factors have been …

Objective This study investigated the speech perception of cochlear implant (CI) recipients
with measurable preoperative ipsilateral speech perception. These data should support …

Design: This cohort study was performed at two tertiary referral centers. The study included
29 patients, of age between 60 and 80 years, with adult-onset, severe to profound bilateral …
