Popis:	Objective: The relationship between pre- and postimplantation monaural auditory performance in patients undergoing bilateral sequential cochlear implantation (SCI) has not been clearly defined. A greater understanding of this relationship could potentially affect preoperative counseling to patients regarding choice of initial side to implant.Method: Retrospective review was performed of monaural auditory performance pre- and postimplantation in 90 SCI recipients between 1997 and 2011 at Vanderbilt University. A “better-hearing ear” had lower pure tone average or speech awareness threshold by at least 10 dB, or open/closed-set speech perception score at least 10% higher.Results: A difference in preimplantation hearing status was identified in 35 patients. The first-implanted ear was better-hearing in 11 and worse-hearing in 24. 28/35 patients had available data on post-implantation monaural auditory performance. At last follow-up (mean 24 months, range 1-69), the first-implanted ear exhibited better closed...
