ABSTRACT
Abtsract. According to the World report on hearing of the World Health Organization there are 1.5 billion people in the world with hearing impairment. Most of these people have mild hearing impairment (1.153 billion), while a smaller part is patients with profound hearing impairment (17.2 million) and deafness (12.6 million). In most cases of mild hearing impairment, hearing aids demonstrate high efficiency of rehabilitation of impaired auditory function. However, in patients with profound hearing impairment and deafness, hearing aids are often ineffective as a result of which rehabilitation is carried out by means of cochlear implantation. The increased availability of high-tech medical care has led to the fact that some patients, candidates for cochlear implantation, are not deaf but have profound bilateral chronic sensorineural hearing loss—that is, they have residual hearing. The world literature described the principles of hearing preservation techniques, but they do not always demonstrate high efficiency. In this regard, the Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Ear, Throat, Nose, and Speech has developed a method of cochlear implantation in patients with residual hearing, which has demonstrated its high efficiency and availability for use in daily clinical practice.
