The aim of this study was to find out how candidacy criteria have evolved differently across the globe.
Candidacy criteria and outcome measurements applied in 19 HEARRING clinics were analyzed.
Candidacy criteria vary between clinics. Overall, both bilateral implantation and cochlear implantation in patients with single-sided deafness are becoming more frequent.
Standardized outcome measurement instruments need to be applied to provide access to the hearing world to all patients with hearing loss who would benefit from cochlear implantation.
本研究旨在了解候选标准在全球范围内是如何不同演变的。
分析了 19 家 HEARRING 诊所应用的候选标准和结果测量。
诊所之间的候选标准存在差异。总体而言,双侧植入和单侧聋患者的耳蜗植入越来越常见。
需要应用标准化的结果测量工具,为所有受益于耳蜗植入的听力损失患者提供进入听力世界的途径。
