Abstract
The diagnosis and investigation of a patient with bilateral, severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss is presented. The steps toward cochlear implantation, including tests of audition, balance, radiographic imaging, and the pre- and postrehabilitation period, are reviewed. The two major cochlear implants available today, and future developments within the cochlear implant, are presented.
