Abstract
Objectives: Real-time electrocochleography (ECochG) has been used as a monitoring tool during cochlear implantation (CI), whereby, amplitude drops have been correlated with postoperative acoustic hearing results. However, no consensus has been reached as to how a single event of an amplitude drop should be characterized. The aim of this study was to identify ECochG events that predict loss of hearing 1 month after surgery. Design: Fifty-five patients were included in this prospective cohort study. Real-time ECochG measurements were performed during CI electrode insertion. Single ECochG events were characterized according to their amplitude loss and slope steepness. Results: Using receiver op..
