Cochlear implant electrode arrays are designed with specific characteristics that allow for
the preservation of intra-cochlear structures during the insertion process, as well as during …

A cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted device for the treatment of severe to
profound sensorineural hearing loss in children and adults. It works by transducing acoustic …

Objectives/Hypothesis Three surgical approaches: cochleostomy (C), round window (RW),
and extended round window (ERW); and two electrodes types: lateral wall (LW) and …

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the benefit of having preserved acoustic
hearing in the implanted ear for speech recognition in complex listening environments …

Objectives 1) Examine angular insertion depths (AID) and scalar location of Med‐El (GmbH
Innsbruck, Austria) electrodes; and 2) determine the relationship between AID and …

Objectives As indications for cochlear implantation have expanded to include patients with
more residual hearing, increasing emphasis has been placed on minimally traumatic …

Objectives/Hypothesis Two types of electrode arrays for cochlear implants (CIs) are
distinguished: lateral wall and perimodiolar. Scalar translocation of the array can lead to …

Most patients with hearing loss significant enough to result in social dysfunction can be
treated with nonsurgical interventions. In many instances, environmental manipulations are …

Objectives/Hypothesis Minimally invasive image‐guided approach to cochlear implantation
(CI) involves drilling a narrow, linear tunnel to the cochlea. Reported herein is the first …

Present-day cochlear implants demonstrate remarkable speech understanding performance
despite the use of non-optimized coding strategies concerning the transmission of tonal …
