Abstract

Objective: evaluate the results of cochlear implant surgery in adults with postlingual deafness and describe some causes of deafness. Methods: retrospective, for adults with postlingual deafness, people with very severe hearing loss who are ineffective when using hearing aids. Surgery time from 2011 to 2022. Evaluate preoperative hearing test results compared to audiometric results at the time of the study. Results: 17 patients, undergoing cochlear implant surgery from 2011-2022. Average age 41.65 years (18-76), men 9/17, women 8/17. The average duration of postlingual deafness before surgery was 8.5 years. The most common causes are bacterial infection 41.2%, sudden deafness 17.7%, idiopathic 17.7%. PTA after surgery is from 30 - 45 dB accounting for 94.2%,  not improved after surgery in 1/17 (5.8%), complications in 0.0%. Conclusions: Cochlear implant surgery for postlingual deafness has a good hearing recovery rate of 94.2%. Improve quality of life, reduce risk rates in life.
