Pediatric cochlear implantation for unilateral hearing loss is a new application of cochlear implants with Federal Drug Administration approval for this indication in 2019. The criteria for cochlear implant candidacy include evaluation of the etiology of hearing loss, the duration of deafness, child and family motivation, and the child's comorbidities. Studies have demonstrated significant improvements in speech perception in quiet and noise, sound localization, and speech and language development after implantation. Additional research is required to determine the best candidate and device for cochlear implantation.
儿童单侧听力损失的耳蜗植入是耳蜗植入的一个新应用，美国食品和药物管理局于 2019 年批准了这一适应证。耳蜗植入候选标准包括听力损失病因评估、耳聋持续时间、儿童和家庭动机以及儿童合并症。研究表明，植入后在安静和噪声环境下的言语感知、声源定位以及言语和语言发育方面均有显著改善。还需要进一步的研究来确定最佳的候选者和耳蜗植入设备。
