The objectives of the study were to: report three more cases of cochlear implantation (CI) in patients affected by superficial hemosiderosis of the central nervous system (SH-CNS); assess whether CI may be a viable option in this disease. The study was conducted in a tertiary referral center. Pre-operative and post-operative clinical notes of three patients with SH-CNS were reviewed. Two out of three cases showed very good results with CI in sentence perception in noise over 90%. For the other case, hearing performance was very low. He showed only disyllabic word identification abilities in a closed set (40%). Cochlear implantation may be a viable option for patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss due to SH-CNS. In these cases, an adequate pre-operative counseling, explaining the possibility of poor post-operative results and/or the worsening of the outcomes in the following years, is important.
