“…Cochlear ossification (CO) refers to the abnormal growth of bone within the perilymphatic spaces of the cochlea as a result of inflammation or damage [41]. Initially, it was believed that the presence of ossification would impede electrode insertion and limit the effectiveness of CI.…”

Cochlear implantation has emerged as a transformative intervention in addressing profound hearing loss, offering a paradigm shift in auditory rehabilitation for individuals with restricted auditory function. Throughout its history, the understanding of contraindications for cochlear implant (CI) surgery has evolved significantly. This review comprehensively analyzes the chronological advancements in the understanding of CI contraindications, examining studies conducted from historical timelines to the present. Recent research has revealed significant developments in the field, prompting a reevaluation of established criteria and resulting in expanded indications for CI. The chronological evolution of contraindications underscores the transformative nature of the field, offering potential improvements in outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with profound hearing loss. In conclusion, this narrative review emphasizes the dynamic nature of the field, where the reevaluation of contraindications has created new opportunities and broader indications for CI. The emerging prospects, including improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life, hold promise for individuals with profound hearing loss.

Introduction Post-meningitis deafness (PMD) is a potentially devastating cause of hearing loss among pediatric and adult patients, for which hearing rehabilitation with cochlear implants (CIs) remains the standard of care. To date, there have been limited systematic studies on the impact of cochlear ossification (CO) and time-to-implantation (TTI) on audiological outcomes. Methods An online database search was performed on the PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases for articles within the past 20 years pertaining to audiological outcomes among pediatric and adult patients with PMD. Information on study characteristics, patient demographics, clinical outcomes, and postoperative complications was collected and analyzed. Results From 8,325 articles generated in the original search, 11 were included in the final analysis, representing 376 patients in total. Of the articles discussing TTI, the majority (3 of 4) found that a shorter TTI of 6 months on average led to improved audiological outcomes compared with control groups with a longer TTI. Of the articles that discussed the impact of preoperative CO, the majority (4 of 6) found that the presence of CO had a detrimental effect on postoperative audiological outcomes after CI. Finally, of the articles that discussed long-term audiological outcomes for PMD compared with the non-PMD control group after CI, the majority (4 of 7) found that PMD patients had inferior long-term outcomes. Conclusion CI is a safe and effective treatment modality for PMD, with the majority of literature demonstrating improved long-term outcomes for patients without CO and a reduced TTI.
