Differential Effects of Low- and High-Dose Dexamethasone on Electrically Induced Damage of the Cultured Organ of Corti.

An increased number of patients with residual hearing are undergoing cochlear implantation. A subset of these experience delayed hearing loss post-implantation, and the aetiology of this loss is not well understood. Our previous studies suggest that electrical stimulation can induce damage to hair cells in organ of Corti (OC) organotypic cultures.

Influence of In Vitro Electrical Stimulation on Survival of Spiral Ganglion Neurons.

Patients scheduled for cochlear implantation often retain residual hearing in the low frequencies. Unfortunately, some patients lose their residual hearing following implantation and the reasons for this are not well understood. Evidence suggests that electrotoxicity could be one of the factors responsible for this late adverse effect.
