Introduction Cochlear implants (CI) are an established and proven method of auditory rehabilitation. In addition, neuromodulation systems such as peripheral nerve field stimulation (PNFS) for treating neuropathic pain gaining increasing importance. To date, there is limited information regarding the concurrent use these implanted potential electromagnetic interferences. this context, case report addresses simultaneous cochlear stimulation.
