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 …

The aim of the study was to evaluate insertion forces during manual insertion of a straight
atraumatic electrode in human temporal bones, and post-implantation histologic evaluation …

Background: Insertion trauma in cochlear implant surgery is a feared surgical risk, potentially
causing neural degeneration and altered performance of the implant. In literature, insertion …

Cochlear implant array insertion forces are potentially related to cochlear trauma. We
compared these forces between a standard (Digisonic SP; Neurelec, Vallauris, France) and …

Objective To assess the effect of cochlear implant (CI) insertion depth and surgical
technique on intracochlear trauma. Study Design and Setting Twenty one fresh human …

Abstract Objectives and Hypothesis: This study has the specific aim of evaluating the
insertion characteristics of a new cochlear implant electrode. Techniques for evaluation of …

In recent years, new designs of cochlear implant electrodes have been introduced in an
attempt to improve efficiency and performance by locating stimulation sites closer to spiral …

Objectives: To preserve the acoustic hearing, cochlear implantation has to be as atraumatic
as possible. Therefore, understanding the impact of the cochlear geometry on insertion …

Introduction: Cochlear implantation (CI) has developed from its origins in the 1980s. Initially,
CI was for profound bilateral hearing impairment. However, candidacy for CI have become …

Insertional trauma to the cochlea from three different multichannel cochlear implant
electrodes was evaluated in a single‐blind controlled study in fresh human temporal bones …
