Abstract

To evaluate various factors that affects the auditory outcomes in pediatric patients with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss who underwent unilateral cochlear implantation. 50 prelingually deaf pediatric patients aged between 1 and 6 years with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss who underwent unilateral cochlear implantation between January 2016 and June 2018 at our tertiary centre were included in this study. Auditory performance was measured using revised categories of auditory performance score at 1 year post cochlear implantation. A Statistical analysis of several factors was performed to reveal any significant relation with outcomes of cochlear implantation. The results of the study showed that patients with younger age at implantation, patient who used hearing aid prior to surgery and patients with normal cochlear morphology had better auditory outcomes post cochlear implantation than their counter group and are the factors which have positive effect on the cochlear implantation outcomes, whereas factors which did not showed any significant relation with the auditory outcomes of cochlear implantation are gender, consanguinity and birth hypoxia. Age at implantation, use of hearing aid prior to surgery and cochlear morphology are the factors with direct impact on the outcomes of cochlear implant.
