Abstract		The aim of this paper is to establish changes in the quality of life of adult cochlear implant patients. The questionnaire was administered in 18 adults (10 men and 8 women) who had used cochlear implants for between two months and six years. The results of the study indicate that cochlear implants provide significant positive changes in the quality of life of deaf adults and in their ability to communicate.
