This is to be understood, concerning the fact of matured hearing paths and centers of CNS, presence of developed speech in patients postlingually deaf, contrary to prelingually deaf patients in whom the development of hearing paths and centers is yet to be established only after cochlear implantation. Accordingly, this is a case report of male adult patient B.D. who was implanted because of complete deafness following the application of gentamicin. The results of implantation were excellent and fully justified the choice of the patient for CI application.
