A Comparison of ECochG With the Subjective Sound Perception During Cochlear Implantation Under Local Anesthesia—A Case Series Study

Conclusions: The developments in the ECochG responses matched well with the changes of the sound stimulus perceived by the patients, which supports the applicability of ECochG for preventing insertion trauma. Monitoring of the patients subjective hearing appears to be more reliable than ECochG but requires surgery under local anesthesia without conscious sedation.
