The objective was to design a questionnaire to identify daily cochlear implant (CI) use habits and barriers to daily CI use and to administer this questionnaire to adult CI users. We hypothesized that recipients who reported a greater number of barriers to daily CI use would show lower daily CI use.

Questionnaire responses and amount of CI use per day as measured from the CI software.
The cochlear implant use questionnaire (CIUQ) was created and responses were obtained from 100 participants. The CIUQ yielded an average overall score of 23 (range, 3-54) out of 100; responses were variable, and CI recipients experienced different barriers to using their CI processor. The CIUQ overall score was significantly correlated with recipients' daily CI use (h/d) (rs = -0.561, p < 0.0001, 95% confidence interval [-0.694, -0.391]), which provides evidence of construct validity. Responses were immediately useful for identifying and overcoming barriers to consistent CI use with our study participants.
Increasing evidence suggests that daily CI use is correlated with speech recognition outcomes. To optimize outcomes, clinicians should consider implementing this questionnaire to identify and overcome barriers to consistent, full-time CI processor use.
设计一份问卷，以识别成人人工耳蜗（CI）使用者的日常 CI 使用习惯和使用障碍，并对这些使用者进行问卷调查。我们假设报告日常 CI 使用障碍较多的患者，其日常 CI 使用量会较少。
问卷调查
学术医疗中心
100 名成年 CI 使用者
问卷回答和从 CI 软件中测量的每天 CI 使用量。
创建了人工耳蜗使用问卷（CIUQ），并从 100 名参与者处获得了反馈。CIUQ 的平均总分为 100 分中的 23 分（范围为 3-54 分）；反馈结果各不相同，CI 使用者在使用其 CI 处理器时遇到了不同的障碍。CIUQ 的总分与患者的每日 CI 使用量（h/d）显著相关（rs=-0.561，p<0.0001，95%置信区间[-0.694，-0.391]），这证明了其结构效度。通过这项研究，我们可以立即使用问卷识别和克服 CI 使用障碍。
越来越多的证据表明，日常 CI 使用与言语识别结果相关。为了优化结果，临床医生应考虑实施此问卷，以识别和克服一致、全时 CI 处理器使用的障碍。
