Cochlear implantation under local anesthesia: a possible alternative for elderly patients
2019
Introduction
As average life-expectancy increases, a sufficient hearing rehabilitation for elderly patients with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss becomes more important. Cochlear implantation is a relatively safe surgical procedure also for elderly patients, the higher risk is caused by general anesthesia. We report on four patients who underwent cochlear implantation under local anesthesia.
