When to Refer Adults for Cochlear Implant Evaluation
Course: #37471Level: Introductory 1 Hour 758 ReviewsThis course provides clinicians – especially Otolaryngologists and Audiologists – an update on when to refer adult patients for cochlear implant (CI) evaluation.

Here we provide information to referring clinicians on when it is appropriate to refer their patients for CI evaluation, including a review of new “60/60” criteria, use of CI technology for patients with single-sided deafness (SSD), and updates on electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS).
