Etiologies of hearing loss were idiopathic (n\u2009=\u20098), cytomegalovirus (n\u2009=\u20094), enlarged vestibular aqueduct (n\u2009=\u20093), hypoplastic cochlear nerve (n\u2009=\u20093), and meningitis (n\u2009=\u20091). The median preoperative pure\u2010tone average was 90 (range, 75\u2010120) and 20 (range, 5\u201035)\u2009dB eHL in the poor\u00a0and better hearing ears, respectively. No patients had postoperative complications. Twelve patients achieved consistent device use (average, 9\u2009h\/d). Three of the seven who were not consistent users had hypoplastic cochlear nerves and\/or developmental delays. The three patients with available preoperative and postoperative speech testing showed significant benefits, and five patients with available postoperative testing demonstrated speech recognition in the implanted ear when isolated from the better ear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CI can safely be performed in younger children with SSD. Patients and families accept early implantation, as evidenced by consistent device use, and derive notable benefits in speech recognition. Candidacy can be broadened to include SSD patients under age five years, particularly individuals without hypoplastic cochlear nerves or developmental delay.<\/jats:p>\n
