Notes:
Summary Stepwise regression analysis was used to evaluate measures predictive of the selection of candidates for cochlear implants. Results of a comprehensive selection protocol were compiled for a group of 31 profoundly hearing-impaired adults undergoing intensive pre-selection evaluation. Data included: unaided audiologic; aided audiologic; vestibular; otologic; medical; radiologic; voice/speech; speechreading; psychoacoustic; and electrophysiologic parameters. The results of the Cochlear Implant Team's decisions concerning selections of patients for implants were compared with the predictive outcome of regression analysis. Ramifications for the construction of cochlear implant evaluation protocols are discussed.
