Research Article: Comparing linear and non-linear models to estimate the appropriate cochlear implant electrode array length—are current methods precise enough?

Date Published: 2023-07-19

Introduction:
Cochlear implantation is the therapy of choice for patients with severe to profound hearing loss that do not benefit from conventional hearing aids [1]. Determining suitable cochlear implant (CI) electrode array lengths according to the individual cochlear anatomy is a matter of debate. In studies reporting advantageous effects from deeper insertion angles, it is hypothesized that a deeper insertion of the CI electrode array into the apical region of the cochlea may enhance speech perception outcomes due to an…
