  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Cochlear implantation was performed in a 47-year-old male with type III Usher syndrome. Despiteof a 30-year-history of total deafness in the operat-ed left ear, good speech communication without any visual cue was achieved. A free and excellent speech as telephone communication became possible in one year.

The speech and hearing were still improving in six years in contrast to the impaired visual acuity. It was emphasized that one should never miss the appropriate period for cochlear implants in patients with Usher syndrome because of the progressive and rapid visual impairment.
