Cochlear implantation in children with labyrinthitis ossificans

Evidence of ossification was previously considered a relative contraindication to cochlear implantation. It was considered difficult or impossible to achieve safe electrode insertion because of bony obstruction. Either the electrodes or the inner ear structures could be damaged. Moreover, obstructed...
