Prospective observational study. Department of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Medical University Frankfurt/Main. Patients aged between 65 and 86 years who received unilateral CI therapy for the first time. Unilateral cochlear implantation. In addition to audiological parameters, the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale - old (WHOQL-OLD) was used to assess quality of life prior to surgery, at the time of first fitting of the audio processor (approx. 1 mo after surgery) and 6 months afterward. Dementia and depression were excluded using dementia detection test (DemTect) and geriatric depression scale. Speech recognition improved significantly during the study period. Furthermore, the total WHOQL-OLD score showed a significant improvement of quality of life comparing the preoperative and the 6 months data (60.0 ± 15.7 to 66.8 ± 12.2 points) (p = 0.001). Only 6 months after surgery, comparable quality of life values were achieved compared to the corresponding population average of the same age group (67.96 ± 14.74 points). No statistically significant difference remained between the study group and the age-adjusted population average (p = 0.37). To achieve auditory rehabilitation, CI treatment in older patients can be strongly recommended, not only hearing rehabilitation, but also to improve quality of life. To achieve auditory rehabilitation, CI treatment in older patients can be strongly recommended, not only hearing rehabilitation, but also to improve quality of life.Traditional review of EEG for seizure detection requires time and the expertise of a trained neurophysiologist; therefore, it is time- and resource-intensive. Quantitative EEG (qEEG) encompasses a variety of methods to make EEG review more efficient and allows for nonexpert review. Literature supports that qEEG is commonly used by neu
