description OBJECTIVES: To investigate the long-term effects of cochlear implants as a treatment for patients with severe to profound neurosensory loss associated with severe tinnitus. METHODS: Prospective study in 17 adult patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss associated with severe tinnitus, indicated with a Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) score ≥ 58%, and hyperacusis. Measures were made on hearing, tinnitus, hyperacusis and quality of life up to 5 years after activation of the sound processor of the cochlear implant. It was evaluated by using the disyllabic test, THI, visual analogue scale and Glasgow Benefit Inventory questionnaire. RESULTS: 60 months after cochlear implantation, improvements in loudness and discomfort of tinnitus, speech discrimination and hyperacusis were observed. Subjects perceive an important subjective benefit upon receiving the cochlear implant. CONCLUSIONS: Cochlear implants can be used as treatment for patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss associated with severe tinnitus and hyperacusis with long-term benefits on quality of life and lasting relief of tinnitus.
