Abstract
The results of the use of clarion implants in 30 Indian patients have been evaluated. Cases included in the study were prelingual & postlingual patients where the cochlea was normal and prelingual patients where the cochlea had a Mondini defect or was ossified. It was found that multiple speech strategies available with the Clarion implant were a distinct advantage. The postlinguals faired better with Speech discrimination in noise using HiResolution strategy and young prelinguals developed hearing and speech faster using SAS & MPS strategies. Moreover, in Mondini cases all electrodes could be inserted using the enhanced bipolar device.
