    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Takayasu&#x2019;s arteritis (TAK) is an idiopathic large-vessel vasculitis. Sensorineural hearing loss is a rare complication in patients with TAK. In this study, we report an adult woman with hearing loss associated with TAK who underwent cochlear implantation (CI).
 The Case: The case was a 28-year-old hearing-impaired woman with TAK who underwent unilateral CI. The surgery improved the patient&#x2019;s speech perception and perceived sound quality. However, her auditory and speech performances changed over time.
 Conclusion: The present case report highlights the importance of monitoring auditory and spe&#xAD;ech performance of CI patients with TAK.</abstract>
