To determine if cochlear implants recipients can be safely and effectively fitted with their sound processor one day after their implant surgery.
All subjects were implanted with MED-EL Concerto cochlear implant. Subjects' electrode impedance levels, maximum comfortable levels, and threshold levels were measured one day after surgery and compared to measurements obtained one month post implantation using the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Twenty-nine participants in the age range of 1 to 42 years (average of 5 years).
No adverse events were reported post-operatively. Measures after one day of surgery were significantly less than those measured one month post implantation.
Early activation of the implant did not impact the healing process of the incision site, suggesting that one-day activation of the implant is feasible for some patients when medically possible. The evolution of the impedance and stimulation levels were consistent with that reported in previous studies, which indicates that early activation did not interfere with the physiological changes taking place after implantation.
确定人工耳蜗植入者在植入手术后一天是否能安全有效地佩戴其声音处理器。
所有受试者均植入MED-EL协奏曲人工耳蜗。术后一天测量受试者的电极阻抗水平、最大舒适水平和阈值水平，并使用非参数威尔科克森符号秩检验将其与植入后一个月获得的测量值进行比较。
29名年龄在1至42岁之间（平均5岁）的参与者。
术后未报告不良事件。术后一天的测量值明显低于植入后一个月的测量值。
植入物的早期激活并未影响切口部位的愈合过程，这表明在医学可行的情况下，对一些患者来说，植入物一天后激活是可行的。阻抗和刺激水平的变化与先前研究报告的一致，这表明早期激活并未干扰植入后发生的生理变化。
