Intraoperative Monitoring Using Cochlear Microphonics in Cochlear Implant Patients With Residual Hearing

Abstract

Intraoperative monitoring of CM thresholds may be valuable for identifying the exact point of time at which residual hearing is affected in CI patients. Opening of the cochlea itself seems to be unrelated to hearing loss. A significant proportion of patients may have hearing loss caused by secondary effects rather than a direct trauma.
