Hearing Preservation Outcomes After Cochlear Implantation Depending on the Angle of Insertion: Indication for Electric or Electric-Acoustic Stimulation

Conclusions: CI candidates can benefit from HP surgery with deep insertion when only using ES due to insufficient residual hearing. Conversely, candidates with preoperative threshold up to 65 dB HL at 500 Hz could perform significantly better with EAS which requires shallow insertion.
