Prospective multicentric follow-up study of cochlear implantation in adults with single-sided deafness: Tinnitus and audiological outcomes
Otology & Neurotology Mar 20, 2020
Poncet-Wallet C, Mamelle E, Godey B, et al. - In adults with single-sided deafness (SSD) and tinnitus, researchers conducted this multicentered prospective, non-randomized intervention study to examine the audiological and tinnitus outcomes of cochlear implantation (CI). Twenty-six individuals with SSD and incapacitating tinnitus (Tinnitus Handicap Inventory > 58) had cochlear implantation. After 1 year of follow-up, 92% of SSD patients with CI showed decreased handicap due to their incapacitating tinnitus starting at 13 months post-activation. Hearing abilities progressively developed after tinnitus relief, leading to significant improvement in speech-in-noise perception at 1 year after activation, indicating partial restoration of binaural hearing abilities.
