Evaluation of a De‐Escalated Post‐Operative Cochlear Implant Programming Protocol
This retrospective study found that reducing post‐cochlear implant programming to four visits in the first year is feasible, with no negative impact on available speech outcomes. Among 201 patients, over half adhered to the streamlined schedule, with compliance improving over time.

Cochlear patency problems in cochlear implantation [PDF]
AbstractSensory deafness may be associated with partial or total obliteration of the cochlear scalae. Before undertaking cochlear implant surgery, a preoperative assessment of cochlear patency with high‐resolution computed tomography (CT) is indicated. To determine the accuracy of pre‐implant CT, a review of the radiographic and surgical findings in 36

Effects of Marital Status on Cochlear Implant Outcomes
Marital status was evaluated as a predictor of post‐CI speech recognition and hearing‐related QoL in 604 adults undergoing cochlear implantation. Unmarried individuals had significantly poorer speech recognition outcomes, while QoL scores did not differ; benefits of marriage were most evident among women, employed individuals, and rural residents, and ...
