Electrocochleography for Monitoring Hearing Preservation During Cochlear Implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Many cochlear implant candidates retain residual hearing, which can improve speech perception and overall outcomes. However, residual hearing is frequently lost during implantation. Intraoperative electrocochleography may enable monitoring of residual hearing, but its clinical relevance is currently limited due to reliance on expert interpretation, the absence of real-time analysis algorithms, and signal variability.

Objective

To assess whether automated analysis of intraoperative cochlear microphonic amplitude decreases (events) is associated with hearing preservation and to evaluate additional electrocochleography features enhancing potential predictive performance.

Design, setting, and participants
