This is a review of the anatomical characteristics of human cochlea and the importance of
variations in this anatomy to the process of cochlear implantation (CI). Studies of the human …

Electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) was developed for individuals with a profound hearing
loss in the high frequencies and a substantial residual low-frequency hearing (LFH). For this …

Objectives: 1) Investigate the impact of electrode type and surgical approach on scalar
electrode location; and 2) examine the relation between electrode location and …

Objectives/Hypothesis Three surgical approaches: cochleostomy (C), round window (RW),
and extended round window (ERW); and two electrodes types: lateral wall (LW) and …

The human cochlea transforms sound waves into electrical signals in the acoustic nerve
fibers with high acuity. This transformation occurs via vibrating anisotropic membranes …

The human cochlea shows considerable interindividual variability in size and morphology.
In order to develop atraumatic cochlear implant (CI) electrodes, high‐precision details of the …

Objective: To describe the relationship between implantation-associated trauma and
postoperative speech perception scores among adult and pediatric patients undergoing …

Indications for cochlear implants are determined by audiological and medical
considerations. Clinical imaging is therefore an integral element for anatomical evaluation in …

Background CDL is measured from the middle of the round window to the helicotrema.
Histologic studies have shown the length of the organ of Corti (OC) to range from 25 to 35 …

Cochlear implant surgery is a procedure performed to treat profound hearing loss. Clinical
results suggest that implanting the electrode in the scala tympani, one of the two principal …
