摘要

Continuous monitoring of the technical and physiological function of cochlear implants (CI) is a central part of the care process. Despite worldwide efforts to standardise procedures, there is still considerable variation between CI centres, particularly in terms of the methods used, their practical implementation and the definition of meaningful target parameters. A standardised structured test procedure is needed for reliable quality assurance and better comparability. Against this background, the ADANO Working Group for Evoked Response Audiometry (AG-ERA), in close cooperation with the Cochlear Implants and Implantable Hearing Systems Committee of the German Society of Audiology (DGA), developed a minimum standard for audiological and technical functional testing of CIs in an open consensus process. This standard defines basic requirements for performance and documentation and serves as a practical recommendation for CI centres. It is intended to improve interdisciplinary cooperation, increase the quality of care and enable structured long-term optimised care for CI patients.
