To investigate the benefit of bilateral cochlear implantation in adults, who had been implanted being a child under the age of 10 years.
Retrospective data analysis.
Tertiary referral center with a large cochlear implant program.
Speech understanding in the Freiburg monosyllabic words in quiet and the HSM sentence test in quiet and in background noise.
Seventy-seven bilaterally cochlear implantation implanted adults.
Bilateral cochlear implantation in children under the age of 10 years results in a significant benefit in speech comprehension in adulthood. In addition, a dependency regarding the time between the implantations and speech intelligibility was found.
The results emphasize the benefit of bilateral cochlear implantation with a short interval between the operations in young children not only during formative years but also in adulthood.
研究在 10 岁以下儿童时期植入人工耳蜗的成年人接受双侧人工耳蜗植入的益处。
回顾性数据分析。
拥有大型人工耳蜗项目的三级转诊中心。
在安静环境下的弗莱堡单音节词和 HSM 句子测试中的言语理解能力，以及在安静和背景噪声环境下的言语理解能力。
77 名双侧人工耳蜗植入的成年人。
10 岁以下儿童的双侧人工耳蜗植入可显著提高成年后的言语理解能力。此外，还发现植入时间与言语清晰度之间存在一定的依赖性。
这些结果强调了在儿童时期进行双侧人工耳蜗植入并在短时间内完成手术的益处，不仅在成长过程中，而且在成年后也能获得良好的效果。
