Pediatric cochlear implantation for unilateral hearing loss is a new application of cochlear implants with Federal Drug Administration approval for this indication in 2019. The criteria for cochlear implant candidacy include evaluation of the etiology of hearing loss, the duration of deafness, child and family motivation, and the child's comorbidities. Studies have demonstrated significant improvements in speech perception in quiet and noise, sound localization, and speech and language development after implantation. Additional research is required to determine the best candidate and device for cochlear implantation.
