HIV-infected patients have an increased risk of developing sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implantation can be a mean of rehabilitating such patients.
A 36-year-old HIV-infected male with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss underwent cochlear implantation after exclusion of medical and radiological contraindications. The patient was followed up for 2 years to assess the audiological outcome.
After a follow up of 2 years, the patient has attained good functional results not experienced any complications. Conculsion: Cochlear implantation can restore hearing to HIV-infected patients with profound hearing loss due to cochlear impairment. This helps in both social and vocational rehabilitation and can improve the quality of life of such patients.
感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的患者发生感音神经性听力损失的风险增加。人工耳蜗植入可为这类患者提供一种康复手段。
一名36岁感染HIV的男性，双侧重度感音神经性听力损失，在排除医学和影像学禁忌证后接受了人工耳蜗植入。对该患者进行了2年的随访，以评估听觉效果。
经过2年的随访，患者获得了良好的功能结果，未出现任何并发症。结论：人工耳蜗植入可为因耳蜗损伤导致重度听力损失的HIV感染患者恢复听力。这有助于患者的社交和职业康复，并可提高这类患者的生活质量。
