Assessment of telephone speech perception in individuals who received cochlear implant in the period 1993-2003

Abstract

One of the benefits of the CI is to introduce the life of the hearing impaired phone use regardless of their technology and accessories, as well as with the phone adapter and cell phone. In this study, most individuals CI users showed satisfactory performance in the comprehension of sentence and questions by the telephone, with better performance, although discrete, for the group post-lingual. Thus, there is the importance of careful indication of the IC and auditory rehabilitation program that minimize the impact of deafness in the communication, especially via telephone, regardless of the time when the hearing was acquired. So, this fact improves the conditions for CI users to maintain their daily activities, following the dynamism of contemporary life.

The knowledge and beliefs regarding practical aspects of cochlear implants: A study of otorhinolaryngologists in a secondary setting in a multi-country study

“…While the extent to which any individual child or adult benefits from receiving a CI depends on a variety of factors, many CI recipients develop the ability to understand and produce speech even to the extent of being able to use a telephone (Anderson et al 2006, Clinkard et al 2011, Rigotti et al 2013) and enjoy music (Kohlberg et al 2014). CI users enjoy a higher quality of life than they had pre-implantation (Francis et al 2002, Olze et al 2011, Arnoldner et al 2014 and only approximately 3% of CI users elect to stop using their device (Bhatt et al 2003, Ray et al 2006, Archbold et al 2009.…”

Development of a home‐based auditory training to improve speech recognition on the telephone for patients with cochlear implants: A randomised trial

“…Patients with cochlear implants (CIs) often show worse speech recognition on the telephone compared to everyday communication . Currently, up to 35% are unable to use the telephone at all and this has been identified as a major source of reduced quality of life .…”

Rehabilitation of telephone communication in cochlear-implanted adults

“…Selon les études, entre deux tiers et plus de 80% de patients implantés cochléaires utilisent le téléphone, l'âge n'étant pas un facteur péjoratif [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Cependant, ces chiffres sont difficiles à comparer entre eux car la méthodologie diffère d'une étude à l'autre.…”
