Launch of Living Guidelines

Many of you were involved in the development of the Living Guidelines for CI for adults, ensuring that the user perspective was included. The Living Guidelines  has now been published and can be found in detail at http://Improving the standard of care for adults with hearing loss and the role of cochlear implantation: Living Guidelines

The Chair of CIICA, Leo De Raeve, was Co Chair of the Task Force, and CIICA was closely involved in their development, with CI users commenting and influencing the content.

The aim of the project was to develop guidelines on good standards in the field of cochlear implantation for adults, so that each country can adapt these guidelines to its own needs in order to optimize cochlear implant care for adults. The Living Guidelines will be regularly updated according to new scientific knowledge and experiences and the new version is Version 3. 

CIICA’s summary guide to the Living Guidelines can be found at: https://ciicanet.org/resources/ciicas-summary-of-the-living-guidelines-for-adult-ci/

This provides a resource and information about its use for advocacy in your country.
