The influence of CI electrode array design on the preservation of residual hearing
Preoperative residual hearing influences the choice of electrode array within the manufacturer's portfolio, with short electrode arrays showing superior results in the preservation of residual hearing. Over time, straight and short electrode arrays are associated with improved preservation of residual hearing. Therefore, for patients with existing relevant residual hearing, it is advisable to choose short and atraumatic lateral wall electrode arrays.
