Breaking Down the New Guidelines on Cochlear Implants for Pediatric Single-Sided Deafness
8/16/2020
Despite the FDA’s approval in 2019 of cochlear implants (CI) for children aged 5 years and older with single-sided deafness (SSD), not all clinicians are aware of the benefits of the procedure for these younger patients. To help attract attention to those benefits and provide guidance for CI candidacy, evaluation, and management of children with SSD, the American Cochlear Implant Alliance (ACIA) Task Force published new guidelines.
The mission of the American Cochlear Implant (ACI) Alliance is to advance access to the gift of hearing provided by cochlear implantation through research, advocacy and awareness.
