An Initial Experience of Cochlear Implantation for Patients With Single-Sided Deafness After Prior Osseointegrated Hearing Device

Abstract

Cochlear implantation for this population of patients produced modestly improved localization accuracy, and most patients expressed satisfaction with this intervention. In this series of cochlear implantation after OHD, our first two patients had wound infection and dehiscence. We recommend perioperative and postoperative antibiotics to prevent this complication.
