Intraindividual Comparison of Psychophysical Parameters Between Perimodiolar and Lateral-type Electrode Arrays in Patients With Bilateral Cochlear Implants

摘要

Objective Perimodiolar electrode arrays were developed to improve stimulation of specific neuronal populations and to decrease power consumption; however, they can damage the cochlear structure. We examined and compared psychophysical parameters of perimodiolar and lateral-type electrode arrays in patients who received a different type of bilateral cochlear implant (CI) in each ear.
