“…The overall score obtained in the group of individuals evaluated by the NCIQ-P version (70.25) was close to the data reported by other authors, (74.2) and (63.26), and described in the scientific literature (18,22) . The highest score was verified in the social domain, in agreement with the findings of previous studies (23,24) . This result is associated with the fact that this domain best represents the way CI interferes positively in the QoL of its users, because improvement of the auditory skills offers benefits in communication, contributing to better social interaction in daily life activities and broadening social relations.…”

“…Other previous studies have reported that the benefit of speech perception seems to be a predictor of gains in QoL (24)(25)(26) . The high overall score obtained in this study for the subdomains basic and advanced sound perception, which belong to the physical domain, has also been described in the specific scientific literature (10,14,24,27,28) . Possibly, these subdomains reflect more punctually the direct benefits of CI use, in the sense of providing better and greater access to speech sounds and, with this, reducing the impact of hearing impairment on communication situations.…”

Purpose: Cross-cultural adaptation and translation of the Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire (NCIQ) into Brazilian Portuguese and analysis of quality of life (QoL) results in adults with cochlear implant (CI). Methods: The NCIQ instrument was translated into Brazilian Portuguese and culturally adapted. After that, a cross-sectional and clinical QoL evaluation was conducted with a group of 24 adults with CI. Results: The questionnaire title in Brazilian Portuguese is 'Questionário Nijmegen de Implantes Cocleares' (NCIQ-P). The version of the NCIQ questionnaire translated into Brazilian Portuguese presented good internal consistency (0.78). The social and physical domains presented the highest scores, with the basic and advanced sound perception subdomains achieving the highest scores. No correlation between gender and time of device use was found for the questionnaire domains and subdomains. Conclusion: The cross-cultural adaptation and translation of the NCIQ into Brazilian Portuguese suggests that this instrument is reliable and useful for clinical and research purposes in Brazilian adults with CI. RESUMOObjetivo: Traduzir e adaptar culturalmente para o Português Brasileiro o Nijmegen Cochlear Implantation Questionnaire (NCIQ) e descrever os resultados de qualidade de vida em adultos. Método: Tradução e adaptação cultural do NCIQ. Depois desta etapa, foi realizado um estudo transversal e clínico de avaliação da qualidade de vida em um grupo de 24 adultos usuários de implante coclear (IC). Resultados: O título do questionário na versão traduzida para o Português Brasileiro foi definido em Questionário Nijmegen de Implantes Cocleares (NCIQ-P). A versão traduzida do questionário NCIQ-P apresentou boa consistência interna para todos os domínios existentes no questionário (0,78). Os resultados de qualidade de vida em adultos demonstraram que os domínios mais pontuados foram o social e o físico, sendo os subdomínios percepção básica e avançada os de maior pontuação. Não foi observada correlação entre gênero e tempo de uso do dispositivo para os domínios e subdomínios existentes no questionário. Conclusão: A tradução e adaptação cultural do NCIQ-P sugere que o instrumento é válido e útil para o uso clínico e de pesquisa em adultos usuários de IC e falantes do Português Brasileiro.Santos et al.

“…Older patients experienced a higher subjective satisfaction after cochlear implantation, regardless of their CI audiometric benefit. Similar and consistent results had been previously observed by different studies in the past [8,[25][26][27][28] . Numerous large scale studies have demonstrated that several previous patient attributes condition cochlear implantation outcomes.…”

OBJECTIVE:Prediction of speech recognition (SR) and quality of life (QoL) outcomes after cochlear implantation is one of the most important challenges for otologists. By sifting through very large amounts of data, data mining reveals trends, patterns, and relationships that might otherwise have remained undetected. There are identifiable pre-implantational factors that condition the cochlear implantation outcome. Our objective is to design a data mining system to predict and classify cochlear implant (CI) predictable benefits in terms of SR and QoL in each patient. MATERIALS and METHODS:This is an observational study of CI users for at least one year. Audiological benefits and its relation to QoL are analyzed using the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) and the Specific Questionnaire (SQ). Sociodemographic and medical variables are processed in SPSS Statistics 19.0, MatLab® and Weka®. Classifiers are designed using the nearest neighbour and decision tree algorithms. Estimators are created by linear logistic regression. RESULTS:A total of 29 patients (mean age, 55.3 years; 52% female and 48% male) including 48% unilateral CI users and 51% bimodal CI users were included in the study. GBI improved by 36 points and SQ by 1.7 (p<0.05). Using Nearest Neighbour (IB1) algorithm for classifiers, interesting attributes were identified for SR and SQ result classification (success rate: 80.7%). Decision tree algorithm (J48) showed influencing variables for GBI (success rate: 81%). Estimators by linear logistic regression analysis disclosed a precision of 85%, 68%, and 71% for SR, GBI, and SQ, respectively. CONCLUSION:Our study proposes a systematized system to classify and estimate SR and QoL improvement based on our initial evaluation to complement decision making and patients' information.

“…Despite significant differences for speech recognition in noise between older and younger CI listeners, the two groups report equal HRQoL benefit on three of six subdomains. Previous research has demonstrated significant correlations between HRQoL and speech recognition abilities (Damen, Beynon, Krabbe, Mulder, & Mylanus, 2007;Hirschfelder, Grabel, & Olze, 2008), but significant correlations were not found among the present data. Independent performance of HRQoL and speech understanding suggests that one cannot replace the other, and both are valuable assessments within CI programs.…”

Purpose: To determine whether older cochlear implant (CI) listeners differ from younger CI listeners on measures of speech understanding, music perception, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). In the study, the authors hypothesized that speech recognition would be more difficult for older adults, especially in noisy conditions. Performance on music perception was expected to be lower for older implanted listeners. No differences between age groups were expected on HRQoL. Method: Twenty older (>60 years) and 20 younger (<60 years) implanted adults participated. Speech understanding was assessed using words and sentences presented in quiet, and sentences presented at +15, +10, and +5 dB signal-to-noise ratio conditions. Music perception was tested using the University of Washington Clinical Assessment of Music, and HRQoL was measured using the Njimegen CI survey. Results: Speech understanding was significantly lower for the older compared with the younger group in all conditions. Older implanted adults showed lower performance on music perception compared with younger implanted adults on 1 of 3 subtests. Older adults reported lower HRQoL benefit than younger adults on 3 of 6 subdomains. Conclusion: Data indicate that older CI listeners performed more poorly than younger CI listeners, although group differences appear to be task specific.
