Gliederung

Text

Introduction: Cochlear implant surgery started to be operated in Mongolia since 2009 (Cochlear Co.Ltd). The company performed the CI surgery to 13 pre-lingual deaf children in 2009–2012.

Methods: Average age of the11 children were 2–4 years. 2 children were 14–15 years old. All 13 patients were implanted with electrode including 2 cases CI 422, 1 case pc CI 512, 3 cases Freedom CA and 7 cases Nucleus CI 24 RE.

Results: First recipient who was operated in 2009 could distinguish most sounds after 6 months of the operation and they could cooperate with family and could sing 1–2 songs 3 years later.

4 months later after the operation most children began to hear sounds and after 6 months later they knew their names and one years later they could say some monosyllabic Mongolian few words.

Conclusions: Implanting Cochlear implant to the profound deaf people is able to realistically rehabilitate hearing loss. It is demonstrated that there are full possibilities to perform Cochlear implantation in Mongolia.
