Introduction: The objectives of the current study were to (1) determine the relationship between electrocochleography (ECochG), measured from the cochlear implant (CI) electrode array during and after implantation, and postoperative audiometric thresholds, (2) determine the relationship between ECochG amplitude and electrode scalar location determined by computerized tomography (CT); and (3) de...

BACKGROUND Electrocochleography (ECochG) is useful in supporting the diagnosis of Meniere disease (MD). Possible MD (early disease as defined by the 1995 American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium) is a readily treatable form of MD. OBJECTIVES To identify whether ECochG summating potential/action potential (SP/AP) area curve measures are more...

Objective: Lay the groundwork for using electrocochleography (ECochG) as a measure of cochlear health, by characterizing typical patterns of the ECochG response observed across the electrode array in cochlear implant recipients with residual hearing. Methods: ECochG was measured immediately after electrode insertion in 45 cochlear implant recipients with residual hearing. The Cochlear Response ...

This paper evaluated the diagnostic power of electrocochleography (ECochG) in detecting Ménière's disease (MD) as compared with two subjective assessment methods, including the clinical guidelines provided by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Committee on Hearing Equilibrium and the Gibson score. A retrospective study of 250 suspected MD cases was conducted. The agree...

Electrocochleography (ECochG) has evolved as an important tool in the diagnosis/assessment/monitoring of Ménière's disease/endolymphatic hydrops (MD/ELH). This manuscript provides an update on the use of ECochG for these purposes. The material presented includes descriptions of the components of the electrocochleogram; ECochG recording approaches and parameters; how to prepare for an exam, incl...

UNLABELLED The brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) is being extensively used as a method for the evaluation of cochlear function in individuals with diagnosis of auditory neuropathy/auditory dyssynchrony (AN/AD). In the absence of otoacoustic emissions, many cases of AN/AD have been diagnosed by the presence of CM identified in the BAEP. AIM to demonstrate the clinical applicability of...

The Hybrid cochlear implant (CI) has been developed for individuals with high frequency hearing loss who retain good low frequency hearing. Outcomes have been encouraging but individual variability is high; the health of the cochlea and the auditory nerve may be important factors driving outcomes. Electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) reflect the response of the auditory nerve ...

Research related to expanding and improving the clinical use of electrocochleography (ECochG) has been ongoing for 25 yr at the University of Kansas Medical Center. This article presents highlights of findings from our laboratory during this period that have contributed to current ECochG recording approaches and clinical applications. A review of new data related to improving the sensitivity of...

Introduction Intraoperative electrocochleography (ECochG) during cochlear implantation is a promising tool to preserve residual hearing. However, the time gap between insertion of electrode and acoustic feedback from audiologist surgeon causes delay. For first real-time visualization intraoperative ECochG via digital microscope (ARRISCOPE​) directly using “picture-in-picture mode” was successfu...

Introduction: We assess early hearing preservation (HP) outcomes of patients implanted with the new Slim 20 lateral wall array (CI624);compare HP and without real-time electrocochleography (RT-ECochG);and explain role RT-ECochG feedback to improve HP. believe this abstract is suitable for a late-breaking as we are first report electrode (CI624). Since CI624's release in May 2020, it becoming in...
