The scalar position of the electrode array is assumed to be associated with auditory
performance after cochlear implantation. We propose a new method that can be routinely …

X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) is a new technique allowing for visualization of the
internal structure of opaque specimens with a quasi-histological quality. Among multiple …

Introduction The cochlear anatomy varies in each individual, and that has an impact on
decisions regarding the insertion of electrodes. The measurement of the cochlear size is the …

Although malpositioning of the cochlear implant (CI) electrode array is rare in patients with
normal anatomy, when occurring it may result in reduced hearing outcome. In addition to …

Conclusions. Except for basal cochlear traumatization, all specimens implanted into scala
tympani showed atraumatic insertion properties and good perimodiolar electrode …

Cochlear implants (CI) restore hearing of severely hearing-impaired patients. Although this
auditory prosthesis is widely considered to be very successful, structural cochlear trauma …

Objectives: To describe a cadaveric temporal bone model of labyrinthitis ossificans and
investigate the utility of intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the …

Setting: Cochlear implant (CI)/tertiary referral center. Subjects: Twenty-five patients
implanted with an Advanced Bionics HiRes90K HiFocus1J CI. Study Design/Main Outcome …

Purpose To evaluate the insertion characteristics and trauma of a new slim lateral wall
electrode (SlimJ) in human temporal bones (TB). Methods Pre-and postoperative …

Objectives/Hypothesis To evaluate the effectiveness of cochlear measures obtained by high‐
resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan in predicting depth of cochlear implant …
