Gliederung

Text

Since the Iowa Cochlear Implant Grant was first funded in 1985, we have been following an increasingly larger cohort of cochlear implant recipients. This cohort includes both adults and children and includes patients who have received one of three different multichannel cochlear implants. Over the past two decades we have been using electrically evoked auditory potentials (primarily the EABR and the ECAP) to document changes in response of the peripheral auditory system to electrical stimulation. This presentation will review the impact that long term use of a cochlear implant has on electrophysiologic measures of auditory function in cochlear implant users. Results show little evidence that long-term use of a cochlear implant, either by pre-lingually deafened children or post-lingually deafened adults, have a negative impact on the response of the auditory system over time.
