Introduction: The use of cochlear implants (CI) has been a remarkable success in reducing disabilities in patients with impaired hearing. The definition of success for those patients means improvement of hearing ability for adults, possibility to develop speech and language for children, quality of life improvement and satisfaction with the whole CI implantation procedure. The aim: To examine patient satisfaction, determined by their place of residence, with all activities in progress during CI implantation including care in subsequent years. Material and methods: The study was conducted prospectively. Online surveys were sent to 1,906 CI patients, with the response rate reaching 33%; thus 630 surveys were analyzed. Demographic data of the respondents were collected: gender, age of implantation, one- or two-sided implantation, place of residence and implanting clinic. A detailed statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed. Results: One of the problems observed was the aspect of waiting time for qualification, implantation and replacement of the speech processor. The second problem was the travel time to the CI center and that was strictly connected with the place of the residence of a patient. Patients’ satisfaction with the control visit was high for majority of them. Conclusions: This research highlighted the limitations of the current CI service delivery. Significant differences concerning the CI pathway were found for particular regions of Poland. One of the future goals for healthcare providers should be to level out the differences in access to CI services between different regions of Poland.

Implantable hearing prostheses are a preferred medium for (re)habilitation in individuaIs with sensorineural deafness and profound hearing loss. Cochlear implants are used in hearing impairments of the cochlear origin, while in cases of the retrocochlear origin, auditory brainstem implants are applied. The obtained results indicate that open-set speech understanding has now become achievable for the majority of cohlear and brainstem implant users. Moreover, the new method of partial deafness treatment has been offered for patients remaining beyond the scope of effective treatment with application of cochlear implant or hearing aids.
