ABSTRACT Introduction Cochlear implants (CIs) are biomedical devices that restore sound
perception for people with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Most postlingually …

Objective: The insertion of the electrode array is a critical step in cochlear implantation.
Herein we comprehensively investigate the impact of the alignment angle and feed-forward …

(1) Background: During a cochlear implant insertion, the mechanical trauma can cause
residual hearing loss in up to half of implantations. The forces on the cochlea during the …

Background: Hearing impairment is the most frequent sensory deficit, affecting 466 million
people worldwide and has been listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of …

Objectives Current surgical techniques aim to preserve intracochlear structures during
cochlear implant (CI) insertion to maintain residual cochlear function. The optimal technique …

Introduction: Cochlear implantation (CI) has been reported to negatively affect vestibular
function. The study of vestibular function has variably been conducted using different types …

Background: New tissue formation, fibrosis, and osteoneogenesis after cochlear
implantation have been implicated in increasing impedance and affecting performance of …

The inner ear, or cochlea, is a fluid-filled organ housing the mechanosensitive hair cells.
Sound stimulation is relayed to the hair cells through waves that propagate on the elastic …

Objective The aim of this study was to determine optimal radiological parameters for
assessment of the round window approach in cochlear implantation surgery. Materials and …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the intracochlear position of the Slim Modiolar
Electrode (SME) after insertion via the extended Round Window (eRW) approach, and to …
