A new technique is described which measures the extent and time course of intracochlear bone formation after cochlear implantation in an experimental animal model. A series of fluorescent histochemical markers is used to delineate the amount of intracochlear bone deposition during specified time periods.

Objective: The aim of this study is to detail and evaluate the surgical procedure for perilymph sampling from the cochlear apex in the Mongolian gerbil.
Design: Perilymph sampling from the cochlear apex was performed one to three time in 12 male gerbils aged 8 to 12 months via the submandibular route. 11 of them were previously implanted with intracochlear implants loaded with dexamethasone and placed in the scala tympani, the 12th was used to collect control samples.

The otic capsule and surrounding temporal bone exhibit complex 3D motion influenced by frequency and location of the bone conduction stimulus. The resultant correlation with the intracochlear pressure is not sufficiently understood, thus is the focus of this study, both experimentally and numerically. Experiments were conducted on six temporal bones from three cadaver heads, with BC hearing aid stimulation applied at the mastoid and classical BAHA locations across 0.

Bone conduction implants enable patients to hear via vibrations transmitted to the skull. The main constraint of current bone conduction implants is their maximum output force level. Stimulating closer to the cochlea is hypothesized to increase efficiency and improve force transfer, addressing this limitation.

Hypothesis: The objective of this study is to obtain comprehensive morphometric measurements of the incomplete partition type II (IP-II) cochlea to provide a better understanding of intracochlear anatomy and important considerations for electrode selection and insertion.
Background: IP-II is the most common bony inner ear malformation that often requires cochlear implantation. Currently, there is significant controversy on electrode selection due to a lack of research that can provide reliable, high-resolution measurements.

Article Synopsis
- * Eleven temporal bone specimens were used to track different metrics like angular insertion depth and cochlear dimensions after implanting the electrode, revealing key correlations between physical cochlear characteristics and insertion results.
- * Findings suggest that specific cochlear dimensions can predict implantation success and trauma risk, with micro-CT imaging offering valuable insights to enhance current cochlear implant technology and surgical techniques.
