“…There are conflicting data found in research papers regarding this correlation, and it is difficult to estimate if the use of hearing aids before implantation improves the use and function of the second cochlear device. According to the findings of Almeida et al, the subjects who used hearing aids before the second cochlear device reported significantly better speech perception when they were tested after implantation of the second CI, both in silent and noisy conditions [16].…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to explore: 1) the average use of each device in sequentially implanted cochlear implants; 2) whether the inter-implant duration between implants produced any significant difference in the average use of the second implant; and 3) whether wearing hearing aids before the implantation of the second cochlear implant affects its average use. Materials and methods The study included 20 participants with bilateral Nucleus 24 implants (Cochlear Corporation, Lone Tree, CO). Data regarding various variables were extracted and then analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics for Mac, version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results The pediatric group included 14 subjects (average age 7.5 years) while the adult group comprised six subjects (average age 37.5 years). The average use of the second device was 0.9 hours per day more than the first in the pediatric group while it was 1.22 hours per day more in the adult group. We also divided the subjects on the basis of duration between the first and second devices and calculated the average use of each device by them. There was no significant difference (p>0.05). The average use by subjects who did and did not use hearing aids before implantation was also insignificant (p>0.05). Conclusions No significant difference between the average use of the first and second implants, between the inter-implant duration of the first and second implants, the average use of the second implant, and between using hearing aids before the implantation of the second device and the average use was observed.

“…The main issues concern the expected results in the second ear and the adjunctive benefits from bilateral electric stimulation in comparison to the first implant only condition, and mainly it has to be clarified if and eventually to what extent some variables of the child limit the results. Clinical studies in this field have been published, but they are not standardized and are based on inhomogeneous samples, in some cases composed both by adults and children with both prelingual and postlingual onset of hearing loss, with variable degrees of hearing loss and variable ages at implantation [1,5,8,[13][14][15][16][17]. Furthermore, the reported results are not reliable, also due to the difficulties in measuring binaural gain, especially in young children.…”

Purpose The study aims to assess the benefit of sequential bilateral cochlear implantation in children with congenital bilateral profound hearing loss, submitted to the first implant at an early age. Methods We enrolled all the bilateral sequential cochlear implanted children who received the first implant within 48 months and the second within 12 years of age at our Institution. The children were submitted to disyllabic word recognition tests and Speech Reception Threshold (SRT) assessment using the OLSA matrix sentence test with the first implanted device (CI1), with the second implanted device (CI2), and with both devices (CIbil). Furthermore, we measured the datalogging of both devices. Then we calculated the binaural SRT gain (b-SRTgain) and checked the correlations between speech perception results and the b-SRTgain with the child’s age at CI1 and CI2, DELTA and the datalogging reports. Results With the bilateral electric stimulation, we found a significant improvement in disyllabic word recognition scores and in SRT. Moreover, the datalogging showed no significant differences in the time of use of CI1 and CI2. We found significant negative correlations between speech perception abilities with CI2 and age at CI2 and DELTA, and between the SRT with CI1 and the b-SRTgain. Conclusions From this study we can conclude that in a sequential CI procedure, even if a short inter-implant delay and lower ages at the second surgery can lead to better speech perception with CI2, children can benefit from bilateral stimulation independently of age at the second surgery and the DELTA.

“…En sujetos con implante coclear bilateral, se han descrito mejores rendimientos de habla en ruido con ambos implantes encendidos que solo con uno de ellos 67 . Estos resultados podrían ser explicados por tres efectos de la audición binaural en la percepción del habla en ruido: el efecto sombra de la cabeza, el efecto de sumación binaural y el efecto de silenciador binaural 68 .…”
