[Possibilities for residual hearing preservation with Nucleus CI532 Slim Modiolar electrode array. Case report].

Authors: Nagy R, Jarabin JA, Dimák B, Perényi Á, Tóth F, Szűts V, Jóri J, Kiss JG, Rovó L Abstract During the rehabilitation of hearing-impaired patients, the preservation of residual acoustic hearing following cochlear implantation by minimizing the implantation trauma allows for improved hearing performance. To achieve this, minimally invasive, soft surgery methods and thinner, atraumatic electrodes were required. In our present study, we reported a case where Cochlear® Nucleus CI532 Slim Modiolar electrode was implanted in a patient with residual hearing. Our aim was to study the possible preservation of postoperative acoustic residual hearing by audiological monitoring. Since childhood, due to her congenital hearing loss, she has been wearing a conventional, airborne he...
