Electrocochleography for Monitoring Hearing Preservation During Cochlear Implantation
This cross-sectional study demonstrates the feasibility of automated intraoperative electrocochleography for possible prediction of hearing preservation during cochlear implantation. Persistent cochlear microphonic events near the end of insertion were associated with hearing loss. Additional electrocochleography features may improve signal interpretation. These findings support the development of real-time feedback systems to guide cochlear implantation.
