Four-point impedance as a biomarker for bleeding during cochlear implantation

“…The disturbance in CM amplitude implies that there has been some interference with normal cochlear function, as may be caused by contact between the electrode and an intracochlear structure critical to hearing. For a straight cochlear implant electrode array, the vulnerable structures are the lateral cochlear wall and the basilar membrane 16 . All straight electrodes come into contact with one or both of these structures if inserted deeply enough 17 .…”

Effect on vestibular function of cochlear implantation by partial deafness treatment–electro acoustic stimulation (PDT–EAS)

“…De Seta et al found while testing the Flex28 on cadaveric model that the insertion force increased significantly as a function of depth of insertion both with traumatic and atraumatic insertions. The maximal peak forces occurred at the end of the insertion as a result of the friction between the entire array and the lateral cochlear wall and inner ear structures [ 40 ].…”

Application of next‑generation sequencing to identify mitochondrial mutations: Study on m.7511T>C in patients with hearing loss

“…In each case of cochlear implantation an individual surgical approach is required. The key issue is to avoid the inner ear trauma and consequently to prevent apoptosis ( 48 ). Therefore the correct choice of electrode and its insertion depth is essential.…”
