Bianchin G, et al. - In this assessment, the physicians examined the speech intelligibility in children subjected to sequential bilateral cochlear implants (CI) surgery and evaluated the influence of the inter-stage interval duration. They reported that benefits of the second implant in the early-implanted children and after a short inter-implant delay were more evident. However, they suggested that even after a long period of deafness and despite a prolonged inter-stage interval, sequential bilateral cochlear implantation should be considered.
