Härkönen K, et al. - The physicians explored the effect of hybrid cochlear implantation (hCI) on quality of life (QoL), quality of hearing (QoH), and working performance in adult patients, and compared the long-term results of patients with hCI to those of patients with conventional unilateral cochlear implantation (CI), bilateral CI, and single-sided deafness (SSD) with CI. They revealed that the hearing outcomes with hCI were comparable to the outcomes of bilateral CI or CI with SSD, but hearing in noise and sound localization were significantly better than with unilateral CI. Moreover, in all groups, the impact of CI on QoL, QoH, and working performance was similar.
