Objective: Cochlear implants are the gold standard for patients with severe sensorineural
hearing loss. A focused electrical stimulation of individual spiral ganglion neurons has not …

There are many different types of cochlear implants available on the market today and they
are constantly being re-evaluated and changed. Knowledge of the exact position of the …

Conclusions This study demonstrates that the exact location of an electrode inside the
cochlea needs to be assessed using two complementary measures, namely the length and …

Cochlear implant electrode arrays are designed with specific characteristics that allow for
the preservation of intra-cochlear structures during the insertion process, as well as during …

ObjectiveThe electrical current distribution of a cochlear implant electrode within the cochlea
is essential for post-operative hearing performance. The slim straight electrode is designed …

Objective: The intracochlear position of an electrode array may influence the outcome after
cochlear implantation. The design of the electrode array can increase the risk of trauma …

Objective The position of cochlear implant (CI) electrodes in the cochlea is fundamental for
the interaction between the implant and the neurons of the spiral ganglion. The scalar …

Background: Postoperative imaging studies by numerous groups have revealed that final
cochlear implant (CI) electrode position impacts audiological outcomes with scalar location …

Long (31.5 mm) electrode arrays are inserted deeper into the cochlea than the typical 1.25
turn insertion. With these electrode arrays, the apical electrodes are closer to (and possibly …

Objectives As indications for cochlear implantation have expanded to include patients with
more residual hearing, increasing emphasis has been placed on minimally traumatic …
