PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Cochlear implants are being acknowledged as the standard of care for patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. However advances in
sensorineural hearing loss. However advances in cochlear implant technology and improved surgical techniques resulted in expanding candidacy criteria and implanting patients with residual hearing and less severe hearing loss.

The goal of this symposium is to discuss newer indications of cochlear implants and summarize recent trends in cochlear implantation, including
hearing preservation surgery, robotic surgery and CI simultaneous with surgery of vertigo in Meniere's disease. Cochlear implants use in single sided deafness and selective cases of acoustic neuroma patients will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

  1. To recognize expanded criteria for cochlear implant candidacy.
  2. To examine the role of cochlear implants in patients with single sided deafness including vestibular Schwannoma and Ménière's disease.
  3. To identify ways to improve hearing preservation in cochlear implant surgery and the role of robotic surgery.
