Abstract：Objective To investigate clinical and audiological features of CHARGE syndrome and effica-cy of cochlear implant. Methods Clinical data of 2 children with CHARGE syndrome seen in our department, including clinical and audiological features, were analyzed in reference to relevant literatures. The value of co-chlear implant as treatment and related key points were discussed. Results Both children showed varying de-grees of ear malformations and hearing disorders. One child died five months after birth from unrelated seri-ous conditions, while the other recovered well after full and timely treatment, with good speech development in the following year. Conclusion Diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome is primarily based on clinical manifesta-tions. Cochlear implants is the best option for patients with severe sensorineural hearing loss.
