 To determine whether individuals older than 60 years of age suffering from profound, bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss and unable to use hearing aids can benefit from a cochlear implant in order to improve hearing performance.  The records of 68 cochlear implant users over 60 years of age were reviewed.  Patients over 60 years of age benefit from cochlear implants.
