Speech Audiometrical Results Before and After Reimplantation of Cochlear Implants

Conclusions:

The present study shows that speech reception performance after reimplantation yields faster and better results than the first implant. It takes a couple of months to get better results than those before the reimplantation. Only in a minority of participants, a small deterioration may be observed. It seems that soft failures in the absence of measurable technical abnormalities call for caution with regard to reimplantation.
