A questionnaire was sent to 101 Nucleus 22-channel cochlear implant recipients aged 65 years and older to investigate the perceived impact of cochlear implantation on their quality of life. The questionnaire was designed to gain insight into the patient's daily use of the Nucleus implant. Sixty-seven questionnaires were returned over a 3-month period. The results of the survey showed that elderly cochlear implant patients obtained similar benefits to younger adult patients who were implanted with the same device. We believe that the results of this study will aid other centers when counseling elderly patients on the expected daily functional benefits of this device.
向101名65岁及以上的Nucleus 22通道人工耳蜗植入者发放了一份问卷，以调查人工耳蜗植入对他们生活质量的感知影响。该问卷旨在深入了解患者对Nucleus植入物的日常使用情况。在3个月的时间里共收回67份问卷。调查结果显示，老年人工耳蜗植入患者获得的益处与使用相同设备的年轻成年患者相似。我们相信，这项研究的结果将有助于其他中心在向老年患者咨询该设备预期的日常功能益处时提供参考。
