RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to quantify the benefit gained from cochlear implantation in pre- or peri-lingually deafened patients who were implanted as adults Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study. Auditory (BKB/CUNY/3AFC/Environmental sounds), quality of life (GBI/HUI3) and cognitive (customized questionnaire) outcomes in 26 late implanted pre- or peri-lingually deafened adults were compared to those of 30 matched post-lingually deafened, traditional cochlear implant users. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant improvement in all scores in the study group following cochlear implantation. BKB scores for cases was 49.8% compared to 83.6% for controls (p=0.037). CUNY scores for cases was 61.7% compared to 90.3% for controls (p=0.022). The 3AFC and environmental sounds scores were also better in controls compared to cases but the difference was not statistically significant. Quality of life scores improved following implantation in cases and controls but the improvement was only statistically significant in the controls. There was a 7.7% non-user rate in the cases. There were no non-users in the control group. DISCUSSION: Early deafened,,late implanted patients can benefit audiologically from cochlear implantation and in this study the improvement in speech discrimination scores was greater than expected perhaps reflecting careful selection of patients. Nevertheless, audiological benefits are limited compared to traditional cochlear implant recipients with the implant acting as an aid to lip reading in most cases. CONCLUSION: With careful selection of candidates, cochlear implantation is beneficial in early deafened, late implanted patients.
