Cochlear implantation in ossified cochlea-Merf experience.

Labyrinthitis Ossificans is a sequelae secondary to meningitis wherein ossification of the cochlea may be partial or complete. Among four of our patients who underwent cochlear implantation, two patients required double array insertion while the other two had a partial insertion of straight array electrodes. Despite partial insertion of electrodes, no significant differences in auditory benefit was noted&matched the peers who had complete insertion.
