The purpose of this session is to update comprehensive otolaryngologists and audiologists on current cochlear implant (CI) candidacy criteria and provide guidance on when to refer patients for CI. This session highlights changes to CI candidacy and new research supporting expanded indications such as bilateral implantation, asymmetric hearing loss, and implantation with significant residual hearing. New considerations including hearing preservation and the impact of untreated hearing loss on cognitive decline are also addressed in the context of CI.
