Abstract
Cochlear implantation (CI), with attempted preservation of residual natural low-frequency hearing, is an increasingly accepted application of this technology, with potential benefits to the patient when listening in noise and in music appreciation. The full extent of the benefits of combining preserved natural hearing and electrical stimulation remain under evaluation. Various factors appear to influence the success of hearing preservation (HP) during CI, including electrode design, surgical approach, insertional trauma, steroid usage and patient factors. Currently, combining or contrasting outcomes of CI with attempted HP is difficult due to the use of heterogeneous outcome measures. Until we have a full understanding of the benefits of preserving residual low-frequency hearing during CI, there is merit in attempting to preserve all residual hearing. Likewise, preserving residual low-frequency hearing is a useful surrogate marker for atraumatic electrode design and insertion.
期刊介绍：
Material for each volume in this series has been skillfully selected to document the most active areas of otorhinolaryngology and related specialties, such as neuro-otology and oncology. The series reproduces results from basic research and clinical studies pertaining to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, clinical symptoms, course, prognosis and therapy of a variety of ear, nose and throat disorders. The numerous papers correlating basic research findings and clinical applications are of immense value to all specialists engaged in the ongoing efforts to improve management of these disorders. Acting as a voice for its field, the series has also been instrumental in developing subspecialities into established specialities.
