Which electrode is the best to save residual hearing in low frequencies( 125 ,250 and 500).

Hello Stream,

 

As we have discussed this problem before the matter of saving residual hearing is not only the matter of an electrode length than the total process of implantation which is circled under one term - hearing preservation.

Beside the main recommendations, there are still not presented unique recommendations rather what each surgeon plead as their own technique based on the experience of the implantation but also on the results of their patients.
