Postoperative results for adults and children implanted with the Clarion device.
Our experience with deaf adults and children who have received the Clarion multistrategy implant are very encouraging. Because of certain programming characteristics of the current device, access to the compressed analog coding strategy has been limited. We expect to see this change in the near future. The CIS strategy, however, appears to provide patients with important, full-spectrum speech information so that they accommodate to the auditory sensations rapidly and begin to interpret sound into meaningful speech within a short time.
