Aktuelle Trends und Entwicklungen bei der Cochlea-Implantat-Versorgung

Die Cochlea-Implantation hat sich als Goldstandard der Hörrehabilitation für Patienten mit hochgradigem sensorineuralen Hörverlust etabliert und ist heute eine unverzichtbare Methode für diese Patienten. Angepasst an rasante Entwicklungen und die sich ergebenden vielfältigen Indikationserweiterungen, haben sich folgerichtig die Implantationsprinzipien subtil verfeinert. Diese Übersicht fasst aktuelle Entwicklungen zusammen, denen im klinischen Alltag wachsende Aufmerksamkeit und eine zunehmende Anwendung zuteil wird.

Abstract

Cochlear implantation is the gold standard of hearing rehabilitation for patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear Implants (CI) are nowadays essential for these patients. Adapted to rapid developments and the resulting expansion of indications, the implantation principles have consequently been subtly refined and further developed. For the established indications like bimodal or bilateral CI care and CI for single-sided deafness, the detailed developments that raised primarily from the observations that residual hearing after the procedure can be preserved. This also played a significant role in the diversification of Cochlear Implantation. Since the audiological criteria for cochlear implants have also been expanded due to the results achieved with the CI compared to optimal fitted hearing aids, CI´s are also suitable for patients with, in some cases, substantial, residual hearing. This current overview summarizes developments that are receiving more attention and increasing application in everyday clinical practice.
