This study evaluated the use of landline and mobile phones in an international sample of cochlear implant users. A custom-designed survey was mailed to cochlear implant users from four different countries. A link to the survey was posted on the MED-EL website, with responses from a further six countries. Results from 196 surveys show that there is a significant shift from pre-operative non-use of a telephone to use of a telephone post-operatively. Seventy-one percent of MED-EL cochlear implant users are able to use a landline telephone to some extent and 54% are able to use a mobile phone to some extent. Talking to familiar speakers about familiar topics is the easiest listening condition on the telephone, and it is easier to recognize a voice using the landline. Many respondents found it difficult to make a call without some assistance. Most respondents could manage to call someone in an emergency, even on a mobile phone. Data obtained should provide useful information in the counselling and rehabilitation of cochlear implant recipients and candidates.
本研究评估了国际样本中人工耳蜗使用者对固定电话和移动电话的使用情况。一项定制的调查问卷被邮寄给来自四个不同国家的人工耳蜗使用者。调查问卷的链接发布在美敦力公司（MED-EL）的网站上，另外六个国家的使用者进行了回复。196份调查问卷的结果显示，术前不使用电话到术后使用电话有显著转变。71%的美敦力人工耳蜗使用者能够在一定程度上使用固定电话，54%能够在一定程度上使用移动电话。与熟悉的人谈论熟悉的话题是在电话中最容易的聆听条件，而且使用固定电话更容易识别声音。许多受访者发现没有一些帮助很难打电话。大多数受访者即使在使用移动电话的情况下，在紧急情况下也能设法打电话给某人。所获得的数据应为人工耳蜗接受者和候选者的咨询和康复提供有用信息。
