Objective To report current knowledge on the topic of intracochlear fibrosis and the foreign
body response following cochlear implantation (CI). Methods A literature search was …

Hearing preservation is possible using soft surgical techniques and electrode arrays
designed to minimize cochlear trauma; however, a subset of patients suffer from partial to …

The foreign body response (FBR) to implantable materials can negatively impact
performance of medical devices such as the cochlear implant. Engineering surfaces that …

Objectives/Hypothesis The aims of this study were to investigate short‐and long‐term rates
of hearing preservation after cochlear implantation and identify factors that impact hearing …

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 …

Background The last two decades have demonstrated that preoperative functional acoustic
hearing (residual hearing) can be preserved during cochlear implant (CI) surgery. However …

Cochlear implants provide effective auditory rehabilitation for patients with severe to
profound sensorineural hearing loss. Recent advances in cochlear implant technology and …

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

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether the dexamethasone-eluting
electrode (DEXEL) has a protective anti-inflammatory effect in a normal hearing implanted …

Objectives The method of drug delivery directly into the cochlea with an implantable pump
connected to a CI electrode array ensures long-term delivery and effective dose control, and …
