First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This completed study looked at how the inner ear responds to sound during and after cochlear implant surgery in 88 participants. Researchers used a noninvasive test called electrocochleography to measure electrical activity in the cochlea. The goal was to see if these measurements could help predict how well the implant will work after surgery.
