Description
Alexandra Rousset, Sylvia Tari, Rod Hollow, Raoul Wills, and Richard C. Dowell gather outcomes for adults who receive a cochlear implant when one ear hears far worse than the other, in 2026 work. Forty-one recipients completed hearing tests in noise and quiet, sound location tests, and questionnaires on tinnitus and quality of life before surgery and up to two years after. The team turned the results into a counselling tool for clinics.
As a group, recipients gained clearly in understanding speech with background noise, locating sounds, tinnitus relief, and self-rated hearing. Individual results varied widely, and word scores matched those seen in people implanted for loss in both ears. Non-use rates ran higher than in the both-ear group, and people with a shorter history of hearing loss were more often pleased. The authors say the tool helps candidates set realistic hopes.
