Cochlear reserve represented by WRSmax may play the most important role as a predictive factor in outcomes after CI. SPG should be considered for indicating CI in patients, when WRS65(HA) does not reach WRSmax. Early rehabilitation with hearing aids and duration of hearing aid usage might play an important role in preserving cochlear reserve in adults.
