UNASSIGNED: We discuss issues related to cochlear implantation in @entity1 with @entity16 ( @entity16 ). We describe the varied nature of this disease category including the numerous potential causes of @entity2167 . The most prevalent etiology for @entity1 with @entity16 is associated with prolonged neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay. We discuss the potential contribution of cochlear @entity519 to this etiology. The second part of this review describes in detail our own experience at the Hospital for Sick @entity1 in Toronto, with cochlear implantation of @entity1 diagnosed with @entity16 . We outline the detection, diagnosis, and referral routes for our @entity1 . We provide an overview of our "standard operation procedures" regarding candidacy, and discuss some of the special considerations that need to be applied to @entity1 with @entity16 . This includes decisions to implant @entity1 with better audiometric thresholds that are standard in non- @entity16 @entity1 , concerns about the possibility of spontaneous remission and the appropriate timing of implantation. Finally we review an extensive published literature in outcomes after cochlear implantation (CI) in @entity16 . This is not a systematic review but rather an exercise to distill out some important reoccurring themes and the general consensus of opinion to date. Our conclusion is that the @entity393 category @entity16 , together with its numerous co-morbidities, is far too heterogeneous to make definitive statements about prognosis with CI.
