Sažetak
We describe a post-lingually deafened patient due to meningitis, who underwent bilateral cochlear implantation (MED-EL Combi 40+) as one stage procedure. The patient has been subdued to follow-up for five years. Aided threshold gives a PTA of 35 dB on right ear, 30 dB on left ear and with both implants a PTA of 26 dB. Results for speech identification and recognition demonstrated an increased performance when both implants are used together. Test for Croatian words and sentences understanding in a noise environment, has been improved 40% with both CIs on. BiCI showed post-operative excellent hearing and communicative outcomes in our patient.
