title: [Cochlear implants in Aragón].
abstract: Cochlear implants are, actually, one of the major advances in the treatment for profound deafness. His use is, already, a routine in the daily practice of our specialty. Due to its special aspects, cochlear implants have to be done following a protocol that organizes and coordinates the different aspects of the diagnoses and treatment of profound deafness, in the different administrative and geographical fields. The health system in our country and the smale dimension of our area, has taken us to create and follow a special program in which all the available resources are used. Following this protocol, we have performed 63 cochlear implants, in the last 10 years. We show here the results and complications.
