Even in using sophisticated surgical techniques for electrode insertion into the ossified cochlea, the results are poorer than expected for patients with limited or no ossification.

The surprising result of this study is that no positive correlation was found between the number of ganglion cells and the level of speech perception after cochlear implantation.

This paper is of utmost interest because it shows that the insertion trauma of cochlear implant electrodes did not cause further degeneration of the spiral ganglion.
