Thank you to @_backtableENT. We discuss aspects of delivering cochlear implants to older adults. It is the fastest growing demographic in our CI practices (20-30% > 80 yo) and a very rewarding patient population to treat.
@UHhospitals@CWRUSOM@AmerGeriatrics@GeriatricOto
Only 7–10% of patients who qualify for #CochlearImplants actually receive one. Why are so many older adults missing out on life-changing hearing care?
On #ENT261, Guest hosts Dr. Joe Walter Kutz and Dr. Brandon Isaacson sit down with Dr. Cameron Wick of University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center to break down barriers to referral, updated Medicare guidelines, and what the data really shows for patients in their 80s and 90s. @ear_wick@UTSWENT@2012_marim@otolaryngolivia
