OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the levels of successful hearing preservation and preservation of functional hearing following cochlear implantation (HPCI) in children using the Cochlear Nucleus® Slim Straight Electrode (SSE).
DESIGN: retrospective case note review of paediatric HPCI cases in our CI centre from 2013 to 2023. Inclusion criteria were attempted hearing preservation surgery, SSE used for implantation, pre-operative hearing thresholds ≤80dBHL at 250 Hz, CI before 18 years of age. Patients were excluded if no postoperative unaided PTA was obtained (poor attendance). Primairy outcome was hearing preservation using the HEARRING group formula; secondary outcome was residual functional hearing (≤80dBHL at 250 Hz/<90dB LFPTA).
STUDY SAMPLE: 56 patients with 94 CI's were included for review.
RESULTS: Hearing preservation was achieved in 94.7% (89/94) of ears and complete preservation in 72% (68/94)). Average functional hearing was preserved in 89% using both criteria for preservation. Long-term follow up data was available for 36 ears (average 35.2 months), demonstrating 88.9% (32/36) complete preservation.
CONCLUSION: We have reliably achieved and maintained a high success rate of HPCI using the SSE in our paediatric population. The field of HPCI would benefit from unification of outcome reporting in order to optimise the evidence available to professionals, patients and their carers.
