ABSTRACT
Cochlear implantation (CI) is an effective method of treating the patients with severe hearing loss and deafness. CI is a complex of measures, including three main stages: selection of candidates, surgical stage and postoperative auditory rehabilitation, which does not always feature with positive results. The indicator of the efficacy of auditory and verbal rehabilitation after CI is the reduction of the auditory threshold and the improvement of speech intelligibility, as well as the subjective sense of sound quality with the implant. The auditory rehabilitation in adult patients was assessed in the previous studies taking into account the sex, age and duration of deafness, whereas the effect of the etiologic factor was not considered. This circumstance has predetermined the objective of this study.
