Cochlear Implant Receiver-Stimulator Migration Using the Subperiosteal Pocket Technique: Objective Measurements of Early and Late Positioning

摘要

Objective: Current clinical practice for fixation of the cochlear implant receiver-stimulator (RS) may not follow recommended manufacturer's guidelines. We investigated short-and long-term RS migration using a subperiosteal pocket technique via serial objective position measurements since previous literature provided only subjective or short-term evaluation.
