To develop skills sufficient for hearing preservation cochlear implant surgery, surgeons need to performseveral electrode insertion trials in ex vivo temporal bones, thereby consuming relatively expensive electrode carriers. ...

Hearing restoration using a cochlear implant requires a surgical access to the inner ear. In order to enhance patient safety, reduce trauma, and shorten the patient's time under anaesthesia current research focusses on ...

Objective: Residual hearing preservation during cochlear implant (CI) surgery is closely linked to the magnitude of intracochlear forces acting during the insertion process. So far, these forces have only been measured in ...
