Abstract
The indications for cochlear implants in children were gradually expended during the last 30 years. This concerns both the age at implantation and the audiological criteria, unilateral or bilateral treatment, the treatment of unilateral deafness and of children with multiple disabilities. Due to the improvement in hearing preservation and new technical developments, it is to be expected that the indication limits will continue to shift in the coming decades.
