ABSTRACT
One of the complications of purulent meningitis is deafness. The article provides analysis of the parameters of the speech processor in patients with post-meningitis cochlea ossification, and in patients with other etiology of sensorineural hearing loss. It is revealed that the impedances values and the threshold levels of comfortable electrical stimulation are higher in patients with cochlea ossification developed after purulent meningitis.
