Hearing Aids

VS

Cochlear Implants

- Hearing Aids Amplify

- Cochlear Implants bypasses damaged portions of the ear to stimulate the Auditory Nerve

A Brief Background Information

Cochlear Implants

- A behind-the-ear sound processor is used with cochlear implants

- The receiver is implanted behind the ear and receives sound signals from the processor by sending them to the receiver.

How Does Cochlear Implants Work

- Cochlear implants bypass damaged portions of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Which recognizes the signals as sound.

How Do They Work

History of

Cochlear Implants

History

of

Cochlear Implants

- André Djourno and Charles Eyriès invented the original cochlear implant in 1957.

- Adam Kissiah created what is known as the modern Cochlear Implants

Benefits of Cochlear Implants

Benefits of Cochlear

Implants

- Adults often benefit immediately and continue to improve for about 3 months after the initial tuning sessions.

- Cochlear implant users' performances may continue to improve for several years.

Success Rates of Adults with Cochlear Implants

Success Rate

82.0% of adults with postlingual hearing loss and 53.4% of adults with prelingual hearing loss improved their speech perception ability by 15 percentage points or more.

Success Rates of Cochlear Implants in Children

Success Rates of Children

- For patients implanted at 12 to 35 months of age, the cumulative rates of regular CI use were 95.3% (95% CI, 90.3-97.7) at 5 years post-implantation, 92.6% (95% CI, 85.6-96.3) at 10 years post-implantation, and 86.7% (95% CI, 68.8-94.8) at 13 years post-implantation.

Factors that can affect the benefits

- The age when hearing was lost.

- Length of time between hearing loss and the cochlear implant surgery.
