Cochlear trauma influenced postimplantation hearing loss and steroid effect on fibrosis. Fibrosis, and to a lesser extent, postimplantation hearing loss increased proportionally to the depth of insertion. Steroids did not influence fibrosis relating to the cochleostomy, but could reduce scarring as the electrode negotiated the hook region or near the electrode tip.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
