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 …

As biomolecular approaches for hearing restoration in profound sensorineural hearing loss
evolve, they will be applied in conjunction with or instead of cochlear implants. An …

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

Abstract Introduction: Cochlear implants (CIs) are commonly used for the rehabilitation of
profound bilateral hearing loss. However, patients with substantial residual acoustic hearing …

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare round window (RW) and
cochleostomy (C) surgical approaches for the placement of cochlear implants (CIs). After …

Objectives: The benefit of round window (RW) approach for cochlear implant (CI) has been
well studied. Because the RW represents a natural door to scala tympani, it facilitates …

Objective: To evaluate incidence of interscalar excursions between round window (RW) and
cochleostomy approaches for cochlear implant (CI) insertion. Methods: This was a …

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine whether cochlear implantation using
the round window (RW) route versus cochleostomy achieves comparable electrode …

Introduction: Precurved cochlear implant (CI) electrode arrays were developed in an attempt
to improve the auditory outcome of cochlear implantation, which varies greatly. The recent …

Analogous to hearing restoration via cochlear implants, vestibular function could be restored
via vestibular implants that electrically stimulate vestibular nerve branches to encode head …
