Asfour L, et al. - Authors evaluated the auditory brainstem implantation (ABI) outcomes in children in a prospective study. For patients who are not eligible for or fail CI, ABI is a good option. Findings suggested positive HRQoL ratings despite varying degrees of postoperative performance. Less positive HRQoL outcomes resulted from the presence of additional disabilities and health problems. In these patients, the requirement to evaluate the outcomes beyond speech perception and communication was emphasized.
