Abstract

Cochlear implantation is a routine method for treatment of deafness with proven effectiveness, which has wide application in the developed world. The success of the operation depends on the right patient selection, precise surgical intervention and active postoperative rehabilitation. In the paper are described the main stages and criteria for patients selection. The protocols for setup and postoperative rehabilitation are discussed.
For achievement of maximal results from cochlear implantation are necessary the joint efforts of highly qualified specialists, parents and pedagogues.

Keywords
