Once SSA establishes the presence of a severe impairment, it determines whether the impairment meets the criteria in the Listing of Impairments (Listings) that qualify a candidate for disability benefits.The current Listings that address hearing loss treated with cochlear implantation contain criteria that evaluate hearing ability through a speech recognition test called the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Since its development in 1994, the HINT has been widely used to measure cochlear implant candidacy and postoperative outcomes. However, the test characteristics, the state of cochlear implant technology, and the environment that made the HINT a common choice of assessment in 1994 are different in 2021. The HINT has several limitations in its characteristics and deviation from its intended use.At the request of SSA, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a consensus study committee to identify and recommend generalized testing procedures and criteria for evaluating the level of functional hearing ability needed to make a disability determination in adults and children after cochlear implantation. The committee's report, Evaluating Hearing Loss for Individuals with Cochlear Implants, details and supports its findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on published evidence and professional judgment. 606 $aCochlear implants$xEvaluation 606 $aImplants cochle?aires$xE?valuation 606 $aCochlear implants$xEvaluation$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00866082 610 $aMedical Policy 610 $aMedical Care 610 $aPolitical Science 610 $aMedical 615 0$aCochlear implants$xEvaluation. 615 6$aImplants cochle?aires$xE?valuation. 615 7$aCochlear implants$xEvaluation. 676 $a617.89 700 $aNational Academies of Sciences$b Engineering, and Medicine$01596851 701 $aDivision$b Health and Medicine$01740532 701 $aServices$b Board on Health Care$01741456 701 $aImplants$b Committee on Evaluating Hearing Loss for Individuals with Cochlear$01741553 712 02$aHealth and Medicine Division, 712 02$aBoard on Health Care Services, 712 02$aCommittee on Evaluating Hearing Loss for Individuals with Cochlear Implants, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861980903321 996 $aEvaluating Hearing Loss for Individuals with Cochlear Implants$94167627 997 $aUNINA
