Purpose: In cochlear implantation (CI) surgery, there are a wide variety of intraoperative tests available. However, no clear guide exists on which tests must be performed as the minimum intraoperative testing battery. Toward this end, we studied the usage patterns, recommendations, and attitudes of practitioners toward intraoperative testing.

Methods: Intraoperative validation study at a tertiary referral center. Patients included adults and children undergoing cochlear implantation.
Objective: To describe the collection methods for perilymph fluid biopsy during cochlear implantation, detect levels of amyloid β 42 and 40 (Aβ and Aβ), and total tau (tTau) analytes with a high-precision assay, to compare these levels with patient age and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, and explore potential mechanisms and relationships with otic pathology.
Study Design: Prospective study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
