Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate outcomes in cochlear implant (CI) recipients qualifying in AzBio noise but not quiet, and identify factors associated with postimplantation improvement.STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: Tertiary otology/neurotology clinic.PATIENTS: This study included 212 implanted ears. The noise group comprised 23 ears with preoperative AzBio more than or equal to 40% in quiet and less than or equal to 40% in +10 signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The quiet group included 189 ears with preoperative AzBio less than 40% in quiet. The two groups displayed similar demographics and device characteristics.INTERVENTIONS: Cochlear implantation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: AzBio in quiet and noise.RESULTS: Mean AzBio quiet scores improved in both the quiet group (pre-implant: 12.7%, postimplant: 67.2%, p?
