Shows that larger cochlear volume correlates with improved hearing preservation in cochlear implant recipients, suggesting personalized assessments for device selection.
For CI recipients of a 23 mm straight array, a larger total cochlea volume is associated with better low-frequency hearing preservation. These data support review of an individual's cochlear anatomy to assist in stratifying individual patient risk for loss of residual hearing as well as for assisting in device selection.
