Utilizing high-resolution computed tomography scans, we measured the diameters of the cochlear aperture at the mid-modiolar level and the internal auditory canal at the porus, midsection, and fundus. The associations between these dimensions were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation and linear regression.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The mean cochlear aperture diameter was 2.16 mm, while the internal auditory canal diameters at the porus, midsection, and fundus were 6.60 mm, 4.27 mm, and 3.88 mm, respectively. Significant positive correlations were observed between the cochlear aperture and internal auditory canal diameters at the midsection (rs = 0.246, p = 0.029) and fundus (rs = 0.338, p = 0.002), as well as the average internal auditory canal diameter (rs = 0.233, p = 0.039).

These findings support cochlear implant planning, with a regression model offering a noninvasive tool to estimate cochlear aperture size.
