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 …

This review covers the molecular mechanisms involved in hair cell and hearing losses which
can result from trauma generated during the process of cochlear implantation and the …

Cochlear implant insertion should be as least traumatic as possible in order to reduce
trauma to the cochlear sensory structures. The force applied to the cochlea during array …

In 2010 Cochlear initiated a coordinated preclinical research program to identify the factors
and underlying mechanisms of acoustic hearing loss following cochlear implantation and …

(1) Background: During a cochlear implant insertion, the mechanical trauma can cause
residual hearing loss in up to half of implantations. The forces on the cochlea during the …

Purpose Latest research on cochlear implantations focuses on hearing preservation during
insertion of the implant's electrode array by reducing insertion trauma. One parameter which …

Background Today, the surgical challenge in cochlear implantation is the preservation of the
anatomic structures and the residual hearing. In routine practice, the electrode array is …

Cochlear implant surgery is a procedure that requires delicate insertion of an electrode array
into the inner ear. This paper reports the clinical motivation, design considerations, analysis …

The risk of insertion trauma in cochlear implantation is determined by the interplay between
individual cochlear anatomy and electrode insertion mechanics. Whereas patient anatomy …

Electrode array insertion into the inner ear is a critical step in cochlear implantation, and
artificial scala tympani models can be a valuable tool for studying the dynamics of this …
