“…There is no consensus on which patients are good candidates for the simultaneous use of a CI and a contralateral HA [Scherf and Arnold, 2014], except the presence of usable residual hearing [Offeciers et al, 2005]. The degree of residual hearing in CI patients however has progressively increased over the years, therefore lower bimodal rates may be related to stricter CI candidacy criteria in the past [Ching, 2005].…”

Bimodal Hearing Aid Retention after Unilateral Cochlear Implantation

The goal of this study was to investigate contralateral hearing aid (HA) use after unilateral cochlear implantation and to identify factors of influence on the occurrence of a unilateral cochlear implant (CI) recipient becoming a bimodal user. A retrospective cross-sectional chart review was carried out among 77 adult unilateral CI recipients 1 year after implantation. A bimodal HA retention rate of 64% was observed. Associations with demographics, hearing history, residual hearing and speech recognition ability were investigated. Better pure-tone thresholds and unaided speech scores in the non-implanted ear, as well as a smaller difference in speech recognition scores between both ears, were significantly associated with HA retention. A combined model of HA retention was proposed, and cut-off points were determined to identify those CI recipients who were most likely to become bimodal users. These results can provide input to clinical guidelines concerning bimodal CI candidacy.

“…Disadvantages of bilateral implantation are the costs of the procedure and the fact that possible new techniques in the future will be impossible after cochlear implantation. Bilateral implantation is recommended in meningitis cases with ossifi cation of the cochlea, Usher's syndrome, far-advanced cochlear otosclerosis and in children with profound deafness who are in their speech and language acquisition period of life (Offeciers et al, 2005).…”

“…Interaural cooperation of the central auditory pathways from the auditory nerve to the cortex is important for sound localisation and for speech understanding in complex listening situations. The choice for cochlear-implanted patients is between bimodal stimulation and bilateral cochlear implantation (Offeciers et al, 2005).…”

Unilateral cochlear implantation has become a widely accepted surgical intervention for both deaf children and adults. It is a reliable and effective method to rehabilitate profound deafness. Recently the benefits of the use of a contralateral hearing aid (bimodal stimulation) with a cochlear implant became clear. Bilateral cochlear implantation benefits bilateral input into the auditory system for adults and children. To provide the binaural advantages experienced by normal hearing subjects bilateral cochlear implantation or bimodal stimulation is probably indicated. Whether to choose between both possibilities depends on many factors. Cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) measurements can be an important tool to decide bilateral implantation in young children. Enough residual hearing in the non-implanted ear might benefit from bimodal stimulation. New protocols are needed for the audiological management for recipients of cochlear implants.

“…The timing when to implant a patient with osteoneogenesis is an important instrument in limiting the degree of hindrance during implantation because of the progressive character of cochlear osteoneogenesis. When the process of osteoneogenesis of the cochleae (including its early stage of Wbrosis) is identiWed one might consider implanting bilaterally to prevent losing the cochlear lumen of the second ear for implantation in the future [12]. Another important reason to limit the period between meningitis and cochlear implantation as much as possible is pointed out by Durisin et al [13], who indicate that audiological performance is better when the duration of deafness is minimized in children deafened by meningitis.…”

The aim of this multicentre study was to compare T1 with T2 weighted MRI scans of the labyrinth after meningitis and to investigate whether waiting with scanning improved the reliability of diagnosing an ongoing process such as cochlear osteogenesis. Forty-Wve patients were included who suVered from meningitis induced hearing loss (radiological imaging <1 year after meningitis). Twentyone gadolinium enhanced T1 and 45 T2 weighted MRI scans were scored by two radiologists regarding the condition of the labyrinth. These radiological observations were compared with the condition of the cochlea as described during cochlear implantation. A higher percentage of agreement with surgery was found for T2 (both radiologists 73%) than for T1 weighted MRI scans (radiologist 1: 62%, radiologist 2: 67%), but this diVerence is not signiWcant. There was no signiWcant diVerence between early (0-3 months) and late (>3 months) scanning, showing that radiological imaging soon after meningitis allows early diagnosis without suVering from a lower agreement with surgical Wndings.
