Residual Hearing Preservation with the Evo® Cochlear Implant Electrode Array: Preliminary Results
Introduction The preservation of residual hearing is currently an important challenge for cochlear implant surgeries. Indeed, if patients exhibit functional hearing after cochlear implantation, they can benefit from the combination of acoustical stimulation, usually in the low-frequencies and electrical stimulation in the high-frequencies. This combined mode of stimulation has proven to be bene...
متن کاملHearing preservation surgery: psychophysical estimates of cochlear damage in recipients of a short electrode array.
In the newest implementation of cochlear implant surgery, electrode arrays of 10 or 20 mm are inserted into the cochlea with the aim of preserving hearing in the region apical to the tip of the electrode array. In the current study two measures were used to assess hearing preservation: changes in audiometric threshold and changes in psychophysical estimates of nonlinear cochlear processing. Non...
متن کامل[Hearing preservation results after cochlear implantation in short-term and long-term observation].
OBJECTIVE To estimate a residual hearing preservation in cochlear implant patients in short-, and long-term observation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A group of 40 subjects with preserved residual hearing were included to this study. In all of them cochlear implant was provided due to a neurosensonal hearing loss. In all subjects hearing was tested using traditional audiological test battery. Cochlea...
متن کاملHearing Preservation in Cochlear Implant Surgery
In the past, it was thought that hearing loss patients with residual low-frequency hearing would not be good candidates for cochlear implantation since insertion was expected to induce inner ear trauma. Recent advances in electrode design and surgical techniques have made the preservation of residual low-frequency hearing achievable and desirable. The importance of preserving residual low-frequ...
متن کاملCochlear implant electrode array insertion monitoring with intra-operative 3D rotational X-ray.
During cochlear implantation surgery, we use a mobile C-arm with 3D functionality to acquire per-operative 3D X-ray images. Scanning the multielectrode array is performed once before removal of the stylet and once after full insertion. When dissatisfied with the position of the multielectrode a repositioning is considered which happened occasionally. The major advantage is the extra certainty o...
