Franchella S, et al. - Researchers sought to assess the optimal age of application of the cochlear implants (CI) in the cases of infant deafness. As per the findings, the optimal age to perform the simultaneous bilateral CIs surgery was seen to be between 12 and 24 months. No particular benefit in carrying out the procedure before 1 year of age was demonstrated. In order to avoid the risks of diagnostic mistakes and reducing the related surgical risk in children under 1 year of age, the finding seemed clinically relevant.
