Radiologic Evidence of Cochlear Implant Bone Bed Formation Following the Subperiosteal Temporal Pocket Technique.

Objective: To compare the thicknesses of bone beneath the internal receiver stimulator (IRS) with the symmetric contralateral unimplanted side in postoperative temporal high-resolution computed tomography (CT) and/or cranial CT of the patients for whom cochlear implants were secured by the subperiosteal temporal pocket technique.

Study Design: Case series with chart review.

Setting: Tertiary care hospital, cochlear implant referral center.
