Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results after cochlear implant (CI) in elderly patients and to compare them to those obtained in younger adult patients. A possible correlation between the results in older CI recipients and some variables of the patients was also investigated. Methods: The sample consisted of 107 patients over 40 years of age at surgery divided into 3 subgroups according to age at implantation. Results in terms of speech perception in silence and with background noise were compared between the 3 groups. The patients also completed the Glasgow Benefits Inventory (GBI) questionnaire. Results: Older patients achieved significant benefits after CI with regard to speech perception in silence and with background noise. We also recorded benefits for the GBI. Discussion: In line with the literature, our data confirm that CI is an effective procedure also in elderly patients, conferring benefits in speech perception and quality of life.

Purpose The aim of this study was to develop a tool to gain insight into the daily experiences of new hearing aid users and to shed light on aspects of aided performance that may not be unveiled through standard questionnaires. Method The tool is developed based on clinical observations, patient experiences, expert involvement, and existing validated hearing rehabilitation questionnaires. Results An online tool for collecting data related to hearing aid use was developed. The tool is based on 453 prefabricated sentences representing experiences within 13 categories related to hearing aid use. Conclusions The tool has the potential to reflect a wide range of individual experiences with hearing aid use, including auditory and nonauditory aspects. These experiences may hold important knowledge for both the patient and the professional in the hearing rehabilitation process.
