In recent years, tools for early detection of irreversible trauma to the basilar membrane during hearing preservation cochlear implant (CI) surgery were established in several clinics. A link with the degree of postoperative hearing preservation in patients was investigated, but patient populations were usually small. Therefore, this study's aim was to analyze data from intraoperative extracochlear electrocochleography (ECochG) recordings for a larger group.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the mCLIP Partial Prosthesis through a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent tympanoplasty, checking their hearing improvement post-surgery using pure-tone audiometry.
  • - Out of 72 patients (66 adults, 6 children), 72.1% achieved a post-operative air bone gap of 20 dB or less, indicating positive audiological outcomes, with stable hearing observed in most cases.
  • - The findings suggest that mCLIP Partial Prosthesis is both safe and effective for use in both adults and children, as demonstrated by low rates of adverse events and satisfactory hearing results.

One promising approach towards further improving cochlear implants (CI) is to use brain signals controlling the device in order to close the auditory loop. Initial electroencephalography (EEG) studies have already shown promising results. However, they are based on noninvasive measurements, whereas implanted electrodes are expected to be more convenient in terms of everyday-life usability.
