Objectives/Hypothesis Two types of electrode arrays for cochlear implants (CIs) are
distinguished: lateral wall and perimodiolar. Scalar translocation of the array can lead to …

Objective To report current knowledge on the topic of intracochlear fibrosis and the foreign
body response following cochlear implantation (CI). Methods A literature search was …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from the secretome of human mesenchymal stromal
cells (MSC) contain numerous factors that are known to exert anti‐inflammatory effects. MSC …

Since the first surgery 50 years ago, cochlear implantation (CI) is the major treatment for
patients with severe sensorineural hearing loss. However, unexpected foreign body …

The foreign body response (FBR) to implantable materials can negatively impact
performance of medical devices such as the cochlear implant. Engineering surfaces that …

Although significant progress has been made in understanding outcomes following cochlear
implantation, predicting performance remains a challenge. Duration of hearing loss, age at …

The human inner ear, which is segregated by a blood/labyrinth barrier, contains resident
macrophages [CD163, ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (IBA1)-, and CD68 …

Hearing preservation is possible using soft surgical techniques and electrode arrays
designed to minimize cochlear trauma; however, a subset of patients suffer from partial to …

Objectives/Hypothesis The aims of this study were to investigate short‐and long‐term rates
of hearing preservation after cochlear implantation and identify factors that impact hearing …

Objectives: The aim of this discussion paper and literature review was to estimate the
incidence of a variety of complications associated with the surgical placement of cochlear …
