Association of Total Cochlear Volume and Initial Hearing Preservation With a Straight Electrode Array

Key Points

The research aims to examine the link between cochlear volume and hearing preservation in cochlear implant recipients with a straight electrode array.
Analyzed data from cochlear implant recipients using a 23 mm straight electrode array
Measured total cochlear volume
Evaluated low-frequency hearing preservation outcomes
Larger total cochlear volume is linked to better low-frequency hearing preservation
Findings support the need for individual anatomical reviews to assess hearing preservation risks

Abstract

For CI recipients of a 23 mm straight array, a larger total cochlea volume is associated with better low-frequency hearing preservation. These data support review of an individual's cochlear anatomy to assist in stratifying individual patient risk for loss of residual hearing as well as for assisting in device selection.
