Knowledge about cochlear duct length (CDL) may assist electrode choice in implantation (CI). However, no gold standard for clinical applicable estimation of CDL exists. The aim this study is (1) to determine the most reliable radiological imaging method and processing software measuring from routine (2) accurately predict insertion depth CI electrode.Twenty human temporal bones were examined using different sectional techniques (high-resolution computed tomography [HRCT] cone beam [CBCT])....
To assess the change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) patients undergoing mastoid cavity obliteration.
Abstract Purpose Cochlear implantation is a prevalent remedy for severe-to-profound hearing loss. Optimising outcomes and preservation, minimising insertion trauma, require precise electrode placement. Objective monitoring during the process can provide valuable insights enhance surgical precision. This study assesses feasibility performance of an impedance-based method insertion, compared to surgeon’s feedback. Methods The utilised Insertion Monitoring Tool (IMT) research software, allowing...
Objectives The aim of this study is to compare the common cavity (CC) with normal anatomy inner ear in order evaluate whether representing both cochlear and vestibular parts revisit CC deformity from a three‐dimensional (3D) perspective. Methods High‐resolution computed tomography image datasets 17 temporal bones initially identified as were evaluated 3D reconstruction multiplanar analysis using free available software for segmentation ear. All images compared Maximum minimum diameter...
Abstract Objectives To investigate the association between “ChOLE” classification, hearing outcomes and disease-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods In two tertiary referral centers, patients requiring primary or revision surgery for cholesteatoma were assessed eligibility. Audiometric assessment was performed pre- postoperatively. The ChOLE classification determined intraoperatively via preoperative CT scan. HRQoL postoperatively using Zurich Chronic Middle Ear Inventory...
Objective: Objective measurements may assist in indicating cochlear implants and predicting outcomes of implantation surgery. Using electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAP), information about the function auditory nerve can be obtained by analyzing responses to electrical stimulation transmitted derived recording electrode. The aim this study was determine whether ECAP characteristics differ depending on stimulated intracochlear region size cochlea. Study Design: Retrospective...
Objective: To assess long-term results and present experience with a high-porosity hydroxyapatite ceramic for obliterating large open mastoid cavities. Study-Design: Cross-sectional cohort study. Setting: Tertiary academic referral center. Patients: All patients who underwent tympanomastoid surgery chronic middle ear disease or revision reduction of an cavity using highly porous matrix material (HMM) between May 2005 June 2013 were assessed eligibility. Twenty three (56.9 ± 18.3 yr)...

A "gold standard" for quantitatively diagnosing inner ear malformations (IEMs) and a consensus on normative measurements are lacking. Reference ranges cutoff values of dimensions may add in distinguishing IEM types. This study evaluates the volumes cochlea vestibular system different types IEM.Retrospective cohort.Tertiary academic center.High-resolution CT scans 115 temporal bones (70 with IEM; cochlear hypoplasia [CH]; n = 19), incomplete partition (IP) Types I III (n 16), IP Type II an...
We hypothesize that visualizing inner-ear systematically in both cochlear view (oblique coronal plane) and mid-modiolar section (axial following three sequential steps simplifies, identification of malformation types.
Abstract Aim To determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of Zurich Chronic Middle Ear Inventory (ZCMEI-21), a questionnaire assessing health-related quality life (HRQoL) in chronic otitis media (COM). Methods In this longitudinal study, 103 patients completed ZCMEI-21 before and after surgery for media. An anchor-based method including global rating change (GRC) was used to assess MCID ZCMEI-21. Results A total were included. The mean preoperative postoperative scores...
Abstract Introduction Improvements of surgical visualization add value to the quality clinical routine and offer opportunity improve education medical staff. The aim this study was determine whether otorhinolaryngology trainees gain additional comprehension anatomical structures site when 3D is used. Methods Data were collected from ENT microsurgical courses middle ear, inner ear lateral skull base at four university departments (Charité (Berlin), Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg...
In cochlear implantation with flexible lateral wall electrodes, a coverage of 70% to 80% is assumed yield an optimal speech perception. Therefore, fitting the implant (CI) patient's individual anatomy has gained importance in recent years. For these reasons, angular insertion depth (AID) be calculated before implantation. One CI manufacturer offers software that allows visualize AID different electrode arrays. Here, it hypothesized preoperative models overestimate postoperatively measured...
Abstract Purpose To establish a standardized reporting system of cholesteatoma, the ChOLE classification has recently been introduced. We here aimed to systematically investigate association between and (i) hearing, (ii) recidivism rate, (iii) postoperative complications. These data may increase utility in clinical practice research by stratifying patients according expected outcomes or risks for Methods In this prospective multicentric study, we included adult undergoing tympanomastoid...
Abstract Purpose A narrow bony internal auditory canal (IAC) may be associated with a hypoplastic cochlear nerve and poorer hearing performances after implantation. However, definitions for IAC vary widely commonly, qualitative grading or two-dimensional measures are used to characterize IAC. We aimed refine the definition of by determining volume in both control patients inner ear malformations (IEMs). Methods In this multicentric study, we included high-resolution CT (HRCT) scans 128...
Achieving a slow and smooth electrode array insertion is paramount for preserving structural functional integrity during cochlear implantation. This controlled study evaluates the efficacy of metronome-guided technique in enhancing smoothness speed insertions.
