Clinical analysis reveals conductive impairment contributing to post-implantation hearing loss, suggesting the necessity of assessing both air- and bone-conduction thresholds.
Loss of residual hearing following cochlear implantation may be due in part to a conductive component. Identifying the mechanism for this conductive component may help minimize hearing loss. Postoperative hearing evaluation should measure both air- and bone-conduction thresholds.
