Cochlear reimplantation from mid‐scala to lateral wall electrode array: Surgical and hearing outcome

Abstract

Abstract A mid‐scala cochlear implant electrode array, which was inserted with an atraumatic round window approach, could be replaced with longer lateral wall electrode array. Deeper electrode insertion seems to have beneficial influence on the hearing quality.
