This study by Ankita Patro, MD, MS Jourdan Holder Elizabeth Perkins & others found single-sided #deafness patients under 5 years old, especially those without a cochlear nerve problem or developmental delay, should be considered for #CI. …-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oh… @VUMCHearSpeech



Must read, new publication by Andie DeFreese! Considering age at implantation, duration of deafness, & daily CI use, only daily processor use was a significant predictor of outcomes in a sample of 614 CI recipients. Consistency of processor use is HUGE! journals.lww.com/otology-neurot…
