Abstract

The Cochlear Implant Programme at Manchester Royal Infirmary was established in 1988 and so far (January,1992) 38 patients have been implanted with the Nucleus 22 channel intracochlear device and one with the Ineraid device. All patients who are referred for consideration for an implant are initially seen at a preliminary cochlear implant assessment clinic conducted by an ENT surgeon. One hundred and seventy three patients attended the initial outpatient screening clinic between 1987 and January 1992. Of these 112 patients (67.6 percent) went on for further investigation regarding suitability for implantation. This paper details the aetiology and severity of deafness in these patients and explains how suitability for admission to the next stage of assessment was decided.
