Quality of Life and Cost-Effectiveness of Cochlear Implants: A Narrative Review

Conclusions: Considerable work has been done on the QoL attainment and health economic implications of CI. Unilateral CI across all age groups leads to reported sustained benefits in the recipients' overall and disease-specific QoL. With increased cost associated with bilateral CI, further study is needed to characterize its costs and benefits with respect to the recipients' health, well-being, and contributions to society.Audiol Neurotol 2017;22:236-258 (Source: Audiology and Neurotology)
