Annex3: The risks and benefits of added and/or modified statements
|
Statement |
Risk |
Benefit |
|
The progress of children with other comorbidities should be measured by criteria that are unique to them and that reflect the goals of the family. |
Low family goals expected from implanting those children, can affect the outcomes. |
Those children should not be excluded from candidacy. They can benefit from implantation, with counselling given towards realistic expectations. |
|
Bilateral stimulation should be considered for all individuals who use a cochlear implant, if not otherwise contraindicated. |
No risk |
Bilateral stimulation should be considered for all individuals who use a cochlear implant, all of its benefits. |
