Introduction. To preserve residual hearing the atraumaticity of the cochlea electrode
insertion has become a focus of cochlear implant research. In addition to other factors, the …

To achieve a functional atraumatic insertion, low intracochlear pressure changes during the
procedure are assumed to be important. The aim of this study was to observe intracochlear …

Conclusion: Based on this model experiment, a small tip and low volume electrode show
lowest intra-cochlear pressure values. Insertional support by a tool minimizes fast pressure …

Objective To preserve residual hearing in cochlear implant surgery, the electrode design
has been refined, and an atraumatic insertion has become one aspect of cochlear implant …

Background: Cochlear implant electrode insertion forces can influence the insertion trauma
and the preservation of residual hearing. The effect of the electrode insertion speed on the …

Background: Parameters related to cochlear trauma, such as insertion forces, gained more
and more importance, especially in regard to preservation of residual hearing. The impact of …

Intracochlear pressure changes during the cochlear implant insertion are assumed to be an
important contributor to hearing preservation. The aim was to observe intracochlear …

Purpose Latest research on cochlear implantations focuses on hearing preservation during
insertion of the implant's electrode array by reducing insertion trauma. One parameter which …

Methods: Human cadaveric heads were surgically prepared with an extended facial recess.
Electrodes from three manufacturers were placed both by using a micro-mechanical control …

Objectives: To preserve the acoustic hearing, cochlear implantation has to be as atraumatic
as possible. Therefore, understanding the impact of the cochlear geometry on insertion …
