“…In the present study the individuals expressed a high level of satisfaction in their social relationships. This discovery corroborates with researches that portray significant improvements in social life of the individuals with the CI, in their work environment, in the increase of job opportunities and in the amplifications in the quality of leisure activities 17,30 . Due to the large index of satisfaction expressed in the analysis of two instruments utilized in this study, it was not possible to perform the analysis of the group separated in relation to the other variables, what makes it strictly descriptive.…”

“…There were no differences in QoL between implanted adults and normal-hearing peers [Rembar et al, 2012]. Most of the QoL benefit of CI was observed within the first 4 months following surgery [Klop et al, 2007[Klop et al, , 2008, with the gain sustained for at least 6 years after CI [Damen et al, 2007]. Younger age at implantation was associated with improved QoL outcomes [Chung et al, 2012].…”

“…Overall, implanted adults showed significant improvement in QoL after implantation [Chung et al, 2012;Hawthorne et al, 2004;Klop et al, 2007Klop et al, , 2008Mo et al, 2005;Olze et al, 2011;Zhao et al, 2008] and attained significantly higher QoL than their nonimplanted (hearing-aided) peers [Cohen et al, 2004;Looi et al, 2011]. There were no differences in QoL between implanted adults and normal-hearing peers [Rembar et al, 2012].…”

“…Ten studies reported on generic health utility metrics, which included the Short Form-36 (SF-36) [Chung et al, 2012;Damen et al, 2007;Mo et al, 2005], Ontario Health Utilities Index (HUI) Marks II and III [Damen et al, 2007;Faber and Grøntved, 2000;Klop et al, 2007Klop et al, , 2008Sparreboom et al, 2012], the EQ5D, the VAS from the EQ5D, the time trade-off technique (TTO), the Australian Quality of Life (AQoL) instrument [Hawthorne et al, 2004], the Hopkins Symptom Check List 25 (HSCL-25) [Mo et al, 2005], the Psychological General Well-Being (PGWB) Index [Rembar et al, 2009], and the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) [Lassaletta et al, 2006]. Although none of these measures are specific to hearing or the effects of CI, some do incorporate hearing ability as part of the measure, as discussed below.…”

Quality of Life and Cost-Effectiveness of Cochlear Implants: A Narrative Review

et al. 2017

Objectives: To review evidence regarding the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and cost-effectiveness of unilateral and bilateral cochlear implantation (CI) among children and adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss. Study Design: Narrative review. Methods: Publications related to quality of life (QoL) and costs of care in CI were acquired through searches in English-language databases. Studies were included if they had identified the HRQoL attainment, cost of care, cost-utility, or cost-effectiveness associated with CI. Results: 57 studies were critically reviewed. The QoL outcome metrics used in these articles were divided into 2 categories - generic and condition specific. In studies investigating children, many reported no significant difference in QoL attainment between CI recipients and normal-hearing peers. In adults, significant improvements in QoL after implantation and higher QoL than in their nonimplanted (hearing-aided) peers were frequently reported. Studies involving an older adult cohort reported significant improvement in QoL after implantation, which was often independent of audiological performance. Overall, the calculated cost-utility ratios consistently met the threshold of cost acceptance, indicating acceptable values for expenditures on CI. Conclusions: Considerable work has been done on the QoL attainment and health economic implications of CI. Unilateral CI across all age groups leads to reported sustained benefits in the recipients' overall and disease-specific QoL. With increased cost associated with bilateral CI, further study is needed to characterize its costs and benefits with respect to the recipients' health, well-being, and contributions to society.

“…It is a specific instrument used by several researchers to evaluate a variety of aspects associated with the QoL of the adult CI user population which evidences the impact of the use of this electronic device on the daily life situations of its users, on the perception of speech sounds, and on the cost-benefit assessment of this type of intervention (9)(10)(11) . In addition, the NCIQ can also be used to monitor the impact of technological innovations and of the auditory rehabilitation process on the QoL of adult CI users over the time of device use (12)(13)(14) .…”

Purpose: Cross-cultural adaptation and translation of the Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire (NCIQ) into Brazilian Portuguese and analysis of quality of life (QoL) results in adults with cochlear implant (CI). Methods: The NCIQ instrument was translated into Brazilian Portuguese and culturally adapted. After that, a cross-sectional and clinical QoL evaluation was conducted with a group of 24 adults with CI. Results: The questionnaire title in Brazilian Portuguese is 'Questionário Nijmegen de Implantes Cocleares' (NCIQ-P). The version of the NCIQ questionnaire translated into Brazilian Portuguese presented good internal consistency (0.78). The social and physical domains presented the highest scores, with the basic and advanced sound perception subdomains achieving the highest scores. No correlation between gender and time of device use was found for the questionnaire domains and subdomains. Conclusion: The cross-cultural adaptation and translation of the NCIQ into Brazilian Portuguese suggests that this instrument is reliable and useful for clinical and research purposes in Brazilian adults with CI. RESUMOObjetivo: Traduzir e adaptar culturalmente para o Português Brasileiro o Nijmegen Cochlear Implantation Questionnaire (NCIQ) e descrever os resultados de qualidade de vida em adultos. Método: Tradução e adaptação cultural do NCIQ. Depois desta etapa, foi realizado um estudo transversal e clínico de avaliação da qualidade de vida em um grupo de 24 adultos usuários de implante coclear (IC). Resultados: O título do questionário na versão traduzida para o Português Brasileiro foi definido em Questionário Nijmegen de Implantes Cocleares (NCIQ-P). A versão traduzida do questionário NCIQ-P apresentou boa consistência interna para todos os domínios existentes no questionário (0,78). Os resultados de qualidade de vida em adultos demonstraram que os domínios mais pontuados foram o social e o físico, sendo os subdomínios percepção básica e avançada os de maior pontuação. Não foi observada correlação entre gênero e tempo de uso do dispositivo para os domínios e subdomínios existentes no questionário. Conclusão: A tradução e adaptação cultural do NCIQ-P sugere que o instrumento é válido e útil para o uso clínico e de pesquisa em adultos usuários de IC e falantes do Português Brasileiro.Santos et al.
