Our experience implanting young children (median age = 2.8 years) with single-sided deafness is now published! https://t.co/JG3wuGucDu @AnkitaPatro15 @ajdefreese @elperkinsoto @VUMCHearSpeech @VanderbiltENT #ssd #cochlearimplants

This study by @AnkitaPatro15 @jourdanholder @elperkinsoto & others found single-sided #deafness patients under 5 years old, especially those without a cochlear nerve problem or developmental delay, should be considered for #CI.

Must read, new publication by @ajdefreese! Considering age at implantation, duration of deafness, & daily CI use, only daily processor use was a significant predictor of outcomes in a sample of 614 CI recipients. Consistency of processor use is HUGE! https://t.co/YJnL7S9R3a
