The primary objective of this study is to determine the (long term) effect of intervention with a CI in adult participants with progressive postlingual moderate/severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss on societal related outcomes (participation; communication profile; autonomy; cognition; listening effort; work; productivity loss; income; medical consumption; third party quality of life; quality of life, and capability). The secondary objective is to determine the effect of CI waiting time between referral and CI surgery on the same societal related outcomes, in the adults with postlingual moderate/severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss.
