Frankfurt concept of early inpatient rehabilitation after cochlear implant treatment : Feasibility for aftercare

CONCLUSION: A very early start of inpatient rehabilitation after cochlear implantation was successfully implemented. The rehabilitation was completed within 7 weeks of CI surgery. Comparison of speech recognition test results before and after rehabilitation showed a significant improvement. A clear rehabilitation effect can therefore be demonstrated. Inclusion of CI rehabilitation in the German catalog of follow-up treatments is thus scientifically justified and therefore strongly recommended.PMID:38630310 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01441-y
