In adults, cochlear implantation (CI) is now the treatment of choice when traditional hearing devices fail. Aside from voice perception, there has been evidence of an improvement in quality of life and cognitive ability. As a result, the study concentrated on the impact of age.
Adults frequently benefit immediately and continue to improve for approximately three months following the initial tuning sessions. Then, while performance continues to increase, the rate of improvement slows. The performance of cochlear implant users may continue to improve for several years.
