Electric-Acoustic Stimulation After Reimplantation: Hearing Preservation and Speech Perception

Conclusions: Hearing preservation can be maintained with long-term use of EAS devices. Those with preserved low-frequency hearing who experience a device failure may maintain hearing preservation after reimplantation. Normal low-frequency hearing thresholds were maintained in the present case, and the patient continued to listen with the EAS device without the acoustic component. EAS recipients may experience rapid restoration in speech perception after reimplantation in the presence of hearing preservation. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)
