Objectives The advent of hybrid electro-acoustic implants requires precise positioning of the
electrode-array (EA) within the cochlea. The cochlea size, that is, the length of the cochlear …

Cochlear size and morphology vary greatly and may influence the course of a cochlear
implant electrode array during insertion and its final intra-cochlear position. Detailed insight …

Objectives Knowledge about cochlear duct length (CDL) may assist electrode choice in
cochlear implantation (CI). However, no gold standard for clinical applicable estimation of …

Introduction The anatomy of the cochlea forms the basis for a successful cochlear
implantation. Cochlear duct length (CDL) is defined as the length of the scala media as …

Conclusion: CBCT allows a precise evaluation of the dimensions and of the shape of the
cochlear duct that is of primary importance for the choice of the length and the design of the …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and usability of different radiologic
methods (single-slice computed tomography (CT), multi-slice CT and rotational tomography …

Cochlear implantation (CI) has reached over years of practicing high standards of surgical
outcomes. Even patients with significant residual hearing are nowadays benefiting from a …

Objective In the field of cochlear implantation, the current trend toward patient-specific
electrode selection and the achievement of optimal audiologic outcomes has resulted in …

Purpose Patient specific selection of cochlear implants would benefit from pre-operative
knowledge of cochlear length. Several methods for its measurement or estimation have …

Objective: To compare the rates of full insertion of electrodes and hearing outcomes
obtained with 28-mm and 31-mm cochlear implant electrode arrays. To assess whether …
