AbstractOBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study is to present follow-up on a previously reported case of successful cochlear implantation in a patient with superficial siderosis.
STUDY DESIGN:
Retrospective case review.
RESULTS:
For the first 6 years after implantation, the patient had maintained a successful result; however, she developed a progressive decline in the benefit from her implant.
CONCLUSION:
