Abstract

Cochlear implant surgery is currently the only effective treatment in cases of bilateral profound deafness in children and adults. It is important to diagnose sensorineural deafness using a battery of specialized exams conducted by a multidisciplinary team. After this evaluation, on the basis of the result obtained and of the criteria of implant indication, the patient is selected for implantation surgery. The objective of the present review was to focus on the current status of the treatment of bilateral profound sensorineural deafness by cochlear implant surgery.
