Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the tip fold over rate, scalar localization, and speech perception outcomes of the CI532 Slim Modiolar Electrode. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION: All patients receiving the CI532 implant before June 2018. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Outcome measures for adults patients include pre- and postoperative speech perception, operative report details, electrode position as determined by X-ray and cone beam computed tomography. Comparison made with previous experience with the Contour perimodiolar electrode (CI512). In the pediatric population tip fold-over rate, measured by intraoperative X-ray, was the exclusive outcome. RESULTS: One hundred twenty-five CI532 devices were implanted in adults and 69 in children. Electrode tip fold-over occurred in eight adults cases and none among children (4.1%). Cone beam CT scans of 120 out of 125 adult patients confirmed scala tympani (ST) position in all but one case where the electrode had been placed into scala vestibuli. There were no translocations from ST to scala vestibuli. This compares favorably with the CI512 translocation rate of 17%. Speech perception outcomes demonstrated good performance with mean preop phoneme scores of 16.2% (±13) increasing to 64.2% (±14) and 71.6 (±16) 3 and 12-months postop, respectively. Compared with a matched group of CI512 recipients, CI532 recipient phoneme scores were significantly higher 3 and 12-months postop by 4 and 7%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The slim modiolar, CI532 electrode has provided very reliable ST position with a low rate of tip fold over. A trend toward better speech perception scores in CI532 compared with CI512 was observed.
