There were common patterns when evaluating both medical and device failures. By recognizing patterns of symptoms that may indicate probable implant failure, otolaryngologists can better counsel patients on what to expect with their implants when they present with certain symptoms.
34% of group B experienced some dizziness. A total of 14% of group A and 10% of group B felt that cochlear implantation had resulted in impaired balance. The DHI scores of 86% of group A (median score 0) and 76% of group B (median score 10) corresponded with low handicap. None of these results differed significantly between groups A and B.Conclusion: While cochlear implantation may result in dizziness it is almost always short-lived and mild, even when the ear with a stronger caloric response is implanted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
