Intracochlear New Fibro-Ossification and Neuronal Degeneration Following Cochlear Implant Electrode Translocation: Long-Term Histopathological Findings in Humans

Conclusions: Cochlear implant electrode translocation was associated with greater fibroosseous formation and lower SGN population. Our findings suggest that scalar translocations may slow the rate of improvement in WRS overtime as compared to atraumatic electrode insertions. Level of evidence: IV.
