Cochlear otosclerosis: does bone formation affect cochlear implant surgery?

摘要: This study aimed to demonstrate that new bone formation in the scala tympani of patients deaf from otosclerosis does not preclude cochlear implant surgery. In seven temporal bones with otosclerosis, we measured extent round window distal part growth. We compared results surgical data on drilling and depth ease placement electrode 20 otosclerosis. also examined clinical performance voltage requirements for long-term use without ossification tympani. Findings our limited sample show obstruction basal turn, which occurs some otosclerotic patients, The dynamic range studied was relatively stable did differ between groups an ossified
