Abstract
Postlingually deafened CI patients more often use the ineffective coping strategies. This tendency becomes stronger with the time lapse from the cochlear implantation and is more frequent in women, which corresponds with the data on both the considerably worse mental health of the postlingually deafened people compared to the general population and the deterioration of the mental, social and physical functioning with the lapse of time from the implantation. The standing availability of the psychological support for these patients is essential, as well as the awareness of their problems.
