Through last several decades, cochlear implant has been fully recognized for treatment of profound hearing loss. Modern technology development enabled unimagined possibilities in technical qualities of the device, as well as development of usable coding strategies, which led to extraordinary results of patient rehabilitation. It is well known that postlingually deaf implanted patients show better results than prelingually deaf implanted patients. This is to be understood, concerning the fact of matured hearing paths and centers of CNS, presence of developed speech in patients postlingually deaf, contrary to prelingually deaf patients in whom the development of hearing paths and centers is yet to be established only after cochlear implantation. Accordingly, this is a case report of male adult patient B.D. who was implanted because of complete deafness following the application of gentamicin. The results of implantation were excellent and fully justified the choice of the patient for CI application.Kohlearni implant je poslednjih decenija doziveo punu afirmaciju u lecenju osoba sa teskim ostecenjem sluha. Razvitak moderne tehnologije je omogucio neslucene mogucnosti tehnickih kvaliteta samog aparata i razvoj upotrebnih kodirajucih strategija, sto je dovelo do izvanrednih rezultata u rehabilitaciji bolesnika sa postlingvalnom gluvocom. Opste je poznato da su rezultati ispitivanja bolesnika sa postlingvalnom gluvocom kod kojih postoji implant mnogo bolji nego rezultati bolesnika sa prelingvalnom gluvocom kod kojih je takodje implantiran aparat. Ovo je potpuno razumljivo s obzirom na razvijene slusne puteve i centre u centralnom nervnom sistemu, kao i razvijeni govor kod bolesnika sa postlingvalnom gluvocom, u odnosu na bolesnike sa prelingvalnom gluvocom, kod kojih se razvitak slusnih puteva i centara, kao i govora moraju uspostaviti tek nakon kohlearne implantacije. U radu je prikazan slucaj bolesnika kod kojeg je, nakon potpune gluvoce nastale posle primene gentamicina, stavljen kohlearni implant. Rezultati su bili izvanredni i u potpunosti su potvrdili ispravnost izbora kandidata za primenu kohlearnog implantata.
