Performing Intracochlear Electrocochleography During Cochlear Implantation

Electrocochleography (ECochG) measures inner ear potentials generated in response to acoustic stimulation of the ear. These reflect residual function cochlea. In cochlear implant candidates with hearing, electrode can directly measure ECochG responses during implantation process. Various authors have described ability monitor by continuous measurements surgery. The measurement signals surgery is not trivial. There are no interpretable up 20% cases. For a successful recording, standardized procedure recommended achieve highest reliability and avoid possible pitfalls. Therefore, seamless collaboration between CI surgeon technician key. This video consists an overview system setup stepwise performing intracochlear It shows surgeon's technician's roles process, how smooth two made possible.
