Comparison of Perioperative Electrophysiological Measurements and Postoperative Results in Cochlear Implantation with a Slim Straight Electrode

This research aims to determine whether a neural response telemetry (NRT) threshold determines the success of surgery. Furthermore, we examined patient’s age, etiology their hearing loss, depth electrode insertion, and slow insertion affect result postoperative speech audiometry (PSA). A total 23 patients that had operations in tertiary medical centre were included research. All them received slim straight was inserted through round window into lateral part scala tympani The duration consistently 2 min 52.2% less than 47.8% cases. Statistical analyses performed IBM SPSSTM program. Patients diagnosed with sensorineural loss (SNHL) statistically lower average NRT values comparison otosclerosis (t = 3.069; p 0.034). is inversely proportional all thresholds (r −0.464; 0.026). No correlation found between tone (U 44.000; 0.300). significant could be drawn (rho −0.070; 0.751).
