Immune Response of Macrophage Population to Cochlear Implantation: Cochlea Immune Cells
Conclusion:
Multiple populations of macrophages exist within the cochlea which are present at baseline and in response to trauma from CI. These results further support evidence for a macrophage response to cochlear implantation. Further studies are indicated to evaluate whether these macrophages have a beneficial, detrimental, or a mixed effect in CI patients.
