“…Factors associated with poorer QoL outcomes included use of hearing aids (rather than a CI) [Meyer et al, 2013;Necula et al, 2013], shorter experience with an implant [Loy et al, 2010], older age at implantation [Necula et al, 2013;Schorr et al, 2009;Stacey et al, 2006;Warner-Czyz et al, 2011], additional developmental comorbidities [Sach and Barton, 2007;Edwards et al, 2012], male gender [Sach and Barton, 2007], lower auditory perception [Sach and Barton, 2007], lower parental educational level [Sach and Barton, 2007], and reduced oral communication by the child [FortunatoTavares et al, 2012].…”

“…These questionnaires provide considerable information on a child's experience with an implant and use one or a combination of open-ended questionnaires, semistructured interviews, or quantitative instruments. Three studies used quantitative QoL questionnaires [Edwards et al, 2012;Schorr et al, 2009;Stacey et al, 2006;Warner-Czyz et al, 2011] and one used a combination qualitative and quantitative instruments [Schorr et al, 2009]. While providing considerable detail and additional insights that are not often assessed in more established QoL instruments, these questionnaires have not been population validated and are not generalizable across different study groups.…”

Quality of Life and Cost-Effectiveness of Cochlear Implants: A Narrative Review

Objectives: To review evidence regarding the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and cost-effectiveness of unilateral and bilateral cochlear implantation (CI) among children and adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss. Study Design: Narrative review. Methods: Publications related to quality of life (QoL) and costs of care in CI were acquired through searches in English-language databases. Studies were included if they had identified the HRQoL attainment, cost of care, cost-utility, or cost-effectiveness associated with CI. Results: 57 studies were critically reviewed. The QoL outcome metrics used in these articles were divided into 2 categories - generic and condition specific. In studies investigating children, many reported no significant difference in QoL attainment between CI recipients and normal-hearing peers. In adults, significant improvements in QoL after implantation and higher QoL than in their nonimplanted (hearing-aided) peers were frequently reported. Studies involving an older adult cohort reported significant improvement in QoL after implantation, which was often independent of audiological performance. Overall, the calculated cost-utility ratios consistently met the threshold of cost acceptance, indicating acceptable values for expenditures on CI. Conclusions: Considerable work has been done on the QoL attainment and health economic implications of CI. Unilateral CI across all age groups leads to reported sustained benefits in the recipients' overall and disease-specific QoL. With increased cost associated with bilateral CI, further study is needed to characterize its costs and benefits with respect to the recipients' health, well-being, and contributions to society.

“…Both the younger than 45 and the 45-to 65-year age groups showed statistically significant improvements in the domains of RP, VT, SF, RE, and MH, consistent with the results of the general CI patient population (Tables 3 and 4). Studies in the pediatric population have suggested that younger patients have a higher quality of life after CI (36,37). This may reflect the increased potential for benefit in an age-related manner and, thus, reflected in the increased number of domains with significant improvements in those younger than 65 years compared with those older than 65 years.…”

Cochlear implant surgery significantly improves health-related quality of life as categorically stratified by the SF-36 questionnaire. These improvements were most evident in the mental health, emotional and social functioning, and physical functioning at work questions of the survey. Cochlear implant recipients younger than 65 years perceive a greater improvement in their level of energy, mental health, and social function compared with those older than 65 years.

Nowadays, cochlear implant has provided a new lifestyle to many hearing-impaired children and adults. Centers which are conducted cochlear implant which is currently 38 in our country and hundreds of cochlear implant practices are being implemented in these centers. Nurses have an important responsibility of providing improvements in patients undergoing cochlear implant surgery, prevention, early detection and management of complications which may be occured. Nurses have needed to educate themselves to be prepared for such technological surgery and to provide the care of patients with the best conditions. The number of medical publications and studies about the implementation of cochlear implant has been increased rapidly, and also in the literature, studies dealing with the nursing aspect of this issue have not been found. In this article, cochlear implant's technical specifications, selection of patients, the impact on quality of life, preoperative and postoperative care of cochlear implant patients with the surgical technique and possible complications are included. This study is expected to contribute to our colleagues working in these units which cochlear implant is implemented and planned to be implemented.
