Abstract
ABSTRACT Cochlear implants (CIs) are the best-performing neural prostheses today. Clinical data have demonstrated that early implantation facilitates advancements in auditory, cognitive and developmental milestones, enabling children to succeed in mainstream schools. With recent improvements in engineering design, signal processing, as well as surgical and rehabilitation techniques, CIs have ushered in expanded candidacy criteria. This review aims to provide a critical evaluation of recent developments in CI strategies --specifically within the areas of implantation of malformed inner ears, outcomes following bilateral CIs, implantation for single-sided deafness and newer, adjuvant biological therapies to augment CI technology.
