Cochlear implant electrode insertion technique
Atraumatic cochlear implant insertion techniques (so-called ‘soft surgery’) are now standard practice in most centres for all cases (no longer just for attempted hearing preservation cases). This has led to several studies examining cochlear trauma and electrode insertion force. In...
Measuring is understanding: an unsupervised PROM clustering of CRS patients
