Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to find out how candidacy criteria have evolved differently across the globe. METHODS: Candidacy criteria and outcome measurements applied in 19 HEARRING clinics were analyzed. RESULTS: Candidacy criteria vary between clinics. Overall, both bilateral implantation and cochlear implantation in patients with single-sided deafness are becoming more frequent. CONCLUSION: Standardized outcome measurement instruments need to be applied to provide access to the hearing world to all patients with hearing loss who would benefit from cochlear implantation.
