Text

Rehabilitation after cochlea implantation is only successful when it brings an improvement in quality of live to the user. The experience is that you cannot compare the progress or success of the rehabilitation directly with the level of hearing. The capabilities of the CI user is very individual and is depending on their participation, therefore the target can also only be individual.

The "International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health" (ICF) connects the bio-medicine with social orientation. They suggest that the health problems of a person are affected by their internal and external context factors.

An ICF orientation plan in rehabilitation after implantation asks how the hearing problem impacts on their every day life and how they deal with them.They consider what support the CI user has also the barriers or hurdles they have experienced. The success of rehabilitation at the end can only be measured by how close they have come to their target.
