Hearing preservation outcomes with motorized cochlear implant electrode insertion: matched-cohort observations
MIT-assisted cochlear implantation was feasible and demonstrated a tendency toward improved hearing preservation and subjective benefit. However, the small sample size, retrospective controls, and incomplete PROM data limit definitive conclusions. Larger, blinded and randomized trials are needed to determine the clinical value of MIT systems for both objective and patient-reported outcomes.
