Bilateral
Cochlear Implantation (BCI), both simultaneous and short interval sequenced, is
a widely advantageous and valuable resource with respect to unilateral cochlear
implantation and long interval bilateral sequenced cochlear implantation, generating new concerns for families with
deaf children.
Lammers
et al.Recently found more statistically significant results regarding the
perception of sound and the expressive
linguistic development of children with Simultaneous Cochlear Implantation
(SCI) compared to those with sequential bilateral cochlear implantation after 1
year of hearing experience with the devices.
Moreover,
the available data show that there is no proliferation in the risks associated
to SCI, assuming that only one surgical, hospital episode was recorded.In this
sense, relevant advances over BCI in deaf children are evident.
