Abstract
In 2019, American Academy of Audiology published the clinical practice guideline for cochlear implant based on evidence-based methodology. The primary purposes of this guideline were to provide a set of statements, recommendations, and strategies for cochlear implant. This paper aimed at interpreting the guideline with a focus on patient selection and indications sections. The determination of candidacy for a cochlear implant involves a series of tests, including audiometric testing, electrophysiology, fitting and verification of amplification, speech perception, and a solid understanding of the impact of hearing loss on educational, vocational, and psychosocial outcomes, as well as speech and language skills. The aspects of the pre-operative process for determining candidacy for a cochlear implant are described in this paper.
