Introduction: The success of cochlear implantation can be evaluated with audiological measurements and quality of life questionnaires. Aim: Our aim was to translate and introduce the Cochlear Implant Function Index (CIFI) test to analyze the physical, psychological and social state of our cochlear implant patients. Method: Between 01. 11. 2016 and 31. 05. 2018, 30 patients filled the questionnaire before and 6 and 12 months after the implantation. Results and conclusion: Results showed a remarkable improvement in the quality of life in several patients even after 6 months. Further improvements could be measured after 12 months.
