Pediatric cochlear implant (CI) users with SSD experience improved speech recognition with increased daily device use. There are few studies that report the hearing hour percentage (HHP) or the incidence of non-use for pediatric CI recipients with SSD. The aim of this study was to investigate factors that impact outcomes in children with SSD who use CIs. A secondary aim was to identify factors that impact daily device use in this population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A clinical database query revealed 97 pediatric CI recipients with SSD who underwent implantation between 2014 and 2022 and had records of datalogs. The clinical test battery included speech recognition assessment for CNC words with the CI-alone and BKB-SIN with the CI plus the normal-hearing ear (combined condition). The target and masker for the BKB-SIN were presented in collocated and spatially separated conditions to evaluate spatial release from masking (SRM). Linear mixed-effects models evaluated the influence of time since activation, duration of deafness, HHP, and age at activation on performance (CNC and SRM). A separate linear mixed-effects model evaluated the main effects of age at testing, time since activation, duration of deafness, and onset of deafness (stable, progressive, or sudden) on HHP.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Longer time since activation, shorter duration of deafness, and higher HHP were significantly correlated with better CNC word scores. Younger age at device activation was not found to be a significant predictor of CNC outcomes. There was a significant relationship between HHP and SRM, with children who had higher HHP experiencing greater SRM. There was a significant negative correlation between time since activation and age at test with HHP. Children with sudden hearing loss had a higher HHP than children with progressive and congenital hearing losses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present data presented here do not support a cut-off age or duration of deafness for pediatric cochlear implantation in cases of SSD. Instead, they expand on our understanding of the benefits of CI use in this population by reviewing the factors that influence outcomes in this growing patient population. Higher HHP, or greater percentage of time spent each day using bilateral input, was associated with better outcomes in the CI-alone and in the combined condition. Younger children and those within the first months of use had higher HHP. Clinicians should discuss these factors and how they may influence CI outcomes with potential candidates with SSD and their families. Ongoing work is investigating the long-term outcomes in this patient population, including whether increasing HHP after a period of limited CI use results in improved outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnhum.2023.1141065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]],"date-time":"2023-05-12T05:51:38Z","timestamp":1683870698000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Factors that influence outcomes and device use for pediatric cochlear implant recipients with unilateral hearing loss"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Lisa R.","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erika B.","family":"Gagnon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margaret T.","family":"Dillon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1159\/000380744","article-title":"Cochlear implantation in children with single-sided deafness: Does aetiology and duration of deafness matter?","author":"Arndt","year":"2015","journal-title":"Audiol.
