Severe infections can cause difficult neurologic sequelae, sensorineural hearing loss included. In this case report, we describe a 58-year-old female, who had lost hearing in her right ear due to pneumococcal sepsis and meningitis 10 years earlier. More recently, urinary tract infection resulting in Escherichia coli urosepsis, completed the profound hearing disability by means of a total left ear hearing loss. After receiving a cochlear implant on her left ear and uneventful recuperation period, the implant was activated four weeks after the surgery with immediate speech reception and patient satisfaction. First postoperative audiometry two months after the surgery yielded an 84% speech reception.
