Summary
Consecutive cochlear implant surgery for bilateral hearing loss with ZEISS KINEVO 900
Case of a 68-year-old female was presented with progressive bilateral hearing loss for 20+ years. The majority of her hearing capacity had been compromised. The patient received a Cochlear implant (CI) in her right ear in 2022 with excellent results. The audiogram shows a cophosis on the right ear and a profound hearing loss on the left ear. The decision was taken to implant a second CI in the left ear to provide binaural hearing.
