Bilateral cochlear implantation in children
Record ID 32013000811
English
Authors' recommendations:
Cochlear implants are used in patients with bilateral hearing impairment caused by severe loss of cochlear hair cells. The goal of cochlear implantation is to restore hearing by converting received sounds into electrical impulses that stimulate the auditory nerve, thereby performing the function normally performed by cochlear hair cells. Bilateral implantation is thought to add to the benefits of unilateral implantation by more closely simulating normal hearing.
