Relationship between intracochlear electrode position and tinnitus in cochlear implantees.

Conclusion: Cochlear implant electrode position has an impact on the rate of tinnitus suppression and generation.

Objective: Suppression of pre-operative tinnitus or a generation of a new tinnitus in cochlear implantees is a known effect of cochlear implantation. The aim of the current study was to evaluate different cochlear implant electrode positions and their relationship with tinnitus suppression and tinnitus generation.
