Cochlear implantation (CI), with attempted preservation of residual natural low-frequency
hearing, is an increasingly accepted application of this technology, with potential benefits to …

Cochlear implants are crucial for addressing severe-to-profound hearing loss, with the
success of the procedure requiring careful electrode placement. This scoping review …

Methods: Twenty subjects with considerable residual hearing in low frequencies were
consecutively implanted with the SlimJ electrode array. The electrode was inserted slowly …

Background: With increasing focus on hearing preservation during cochlear implant surgery,
atraumatic technique is of the utmost importance. Previous studies revealed that high …

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 …

Cochlear implants (CI) have revolutionized the treatment of patients with severe to profound
sensory hearing loss by providing a method of bypassing normal hearing to directly …

Background: Though cochlear implant (CI) surgery is regarded as having low risk of
impacting the vestibular system, several studies have documented changes in vestibular …

Objective Different aspects should be considered to achieve an atraumatic insertion of
cochlear implant electrode arrays as an important surgical goal. Intracochlear pressure …

Background: Preservation of residual hearing is one of the major goals in modern cochlear
implant surgery. Intra-cochlear fluid pressure changes influence residual hearing, and …

Methods: Ten fresh-frozen TBs were implanted with the SlimJ electrode array via the round
window. The electrode array is 23 mm long, with a cross-section varying from 0.25× 0.55 mm …
