Case-Control Analysis of Cochlear Implant Performance in Elderly Patients
Abstract: Elderly patients benefit significantly from cochlear implantation. Compared with a younger cohort matched for preimplantation performance, however, their postimplantation scores are significantly lower on some measures. These results may provide guidelines for candidacy and counseling regarding elderly patients with cochlear implants.

“…The study revealed a significantly increased speech perception in the elderly 12 months after cochlear implantation compared with their preoperative status. This stands in line with similar studies [ 3 – 5 , 7 – 9 , 17 – 21 ].…”

“…In a similar study, Aftab et al5 reported no difference in hearing outcomes between 10 patients with IMIED compared to 12 randomly selected CI patients with other diagnoses. Unlike studies in diverse patient populations, the present study did not reveal a significant effect of baseline speech understanding or duration of deafness on post‐CI speech perception 20–22. This may result from relatively little variability in the profound level of preoperative hearing loss and the short time to CI.…”

“…Previous data regarding this topic are inconsistent. Several reports show no difference in CI outcomes in patients over 65 years of age compared with younger adults, whereas another study demonstrated lower word intelligibility in older CI users . Our data are consistent with these recent observations by Friedland et al, but what has not been shown previously is that patients over the age of 80 years account for lower performance among CI users over 65 years of age.…”
