Abstract

Cochlear implantation is a well-established treatment for total deafness. According to the increased number of cochlear implantation cases and the postoperative period, we have encountered various problems and complications. We describe a patient with cochlear destruction from repeated otitis media several years after cochlear implantation. She underwent cochlear implantation in the opposite ear. We assume that the uncontrolled infection led to a chronic state, thus causing cochlear destruction. We sometimes experience fungus-induced otitis media after cochlear implantation which is difficult to control. It is therefore important to control otitis media before cochlear implantation.
