Methods One hundred thirty nine patients with severe deafness received Nurotron Cochlear Implanta-tion (CS-10A) from Mar. 2010 to Dec. 2014. Of these patients, 40 took part in follow-ups by telephone. Their daily-use of the Nurotron products, improvement of quality of life, and auditory rehabilitation (evaluat-ed by Categories of Auditory Performance [CAP) and Speech Intelligibility Rating [SIR)) were analyzed. Re-sults All of the Nurotron bionic cochlear implants worked well in the 40 interviewed patients. The recipients reported improvement in quality of life and were satisfied with the product.
