Objectives: To propose a remote, real-time, safe, and easy systematic method to determine electrode electric impedance components: access resistance, polarization capacitance, and polarization resistance.
Patients: Patients who received a cochlear implant and had normal cochlear anatomy and complete array insertion were recruited. A total of four adult patients were included and separated in two groups according to implantation time.
Hypothesis: Utilizing the cochlear implant to record electrophysiologic responses during device placement is a feasible and efficacious technique for monitoring near real-time cochlear physiology during and following electrode insertion.
Background: Minimizing intracochlear trauma during cochlear implantation has emerged as a highly researched area to help improve patient performance. Currently, conventional cochlear implant technology allows for the recording of electrically evoked compound action potentials (eCAPs).
