Comparison of Slim Perimodiolar and Slim Straight Electrode Arrays in Pediatric Cochlear Implantation: A Radiologic, Electrophysiological, and Audiological Study
Slim PM arrays provide closer modiolar proximity, lower impedances, reduced energy consumption, with more consistent early hearing outcomes and better speech/language scores if implanted before 3 years of age. These findings support early implantation with slim perimodiolar arrays to optimize pediatric auditory and language performance.
