Objectives: The aim of this discussion paper and literature review was to estimate the
incidence of a variety of complications associated with the surgical placement of cochlear …

Methods: Twenty subjects with considerable residual hearing in low frequencies were
consecutively implanted with the SlimJ electrode array. The electrode was inserted slowly …

Objective: Given the lack of consensus on fixation techniques of the cochlear implant, this
review aims to create an up-to-date overview of intra-and postoperative complications …

Introduction Estimating differences in neural health across different sites within the individual
cochlea potentially enables clinical applications for subjects with a cochlear implant. The …

Introduction: Electrode array translocation is an unpredictable event with all types of arrays,
even using a teleoperated robot in a clinical scenario. We aimed to compare the …

Background Prospective research in the field of cochlear implants is hampered by
methodological issues and small sample sizes. The ELEPHANT study presents an …

Objectives In vestibular implants (VI), the electrode position is thought to be important for
optimal neural activation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability of the …

Background During the cochlear implantation procedure, the receiver/stimulator (R/S) part of
the implant is fixated to prevent postoperative device migration, which could have an …

Purpose Cochlear implantation (CI) surgery is essential for restoring hearing in individuals
with severe sensorineural hearing loss. Accurate placement of the electrode within the …

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate cone-beam computed-tomography (CBCT) images of
the temporal bone for radiological delineation, metal artifacts, and accuracy for localization …
