Despite growth of CI and widening of implantation criteria, penetration rates remain low and the clinical profile of adult CI candidates has not substantially changed.

This study evaluated the demographic and auditory profiles of current adult CI candidates and identified factors affecting CI uptake.

Preoperative data from patients who underwent CI candidacy evaluation between 2016–2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Data included demographics, medical reports, audiological results, and reasons for not pursuing implantation.

omparisons between candidates who pursued implantation and those who did not were performed.
