Abstract:OBJECTIVES: Cochlear-implant companies manufacture devices with different electrode array types. Some arrays have a straight geometry designed for minimal neuronal trauma, while others are precurved and designed to position the electrodes closer to the cochlear neurons. Due to their differing geometries, it’s possible that the arrays are not only positioned differently inside the cochlea, but also produce different patterns of electrical spread of excitation. The Panoramic ECAP method (PECAP) provides detailed… Show more
