People with Congenital Microtia-Atresia (CMA) have malformations of the pinna and the external auditory canal. Often the middle ear anatomy is also affected and shows abnormalities. The vast majority of children born with CMA have moderate to severe conductive hearing loss from the very beginning of their lives. We all know that this has an
The MED-EL Surgical Video Library offers complete surgical case studies from leading ENT surgeons. Created in cooperation with ARRI, these high-resolution videos capture precise movements and detailed structures with incredible clarity. Access is free and the easy-to-use library is optimized for desktop or mobile viewing. Today, we’re sharing a surgical case study that focuses on
One potential side effect of cochlear implantation is facial nerve stimulation (FNS) or other non-auditory stimulation (NAS). Reported occurrences of FNS for cochlear implant recipients ranges from ~1–10%, and can occur regardless of implant brand. Facial nerve stimulation can be difficult to manage, as it often requires reducing stimulation levels or deactivating electrodes—and hearing outcomes
Whether it’s a slip on an icy sidewalk or a routine diagnostic scan, it’s safe to say we’ll all need an MRI someday. In fact, in the Unites States alone, more than 100,000 MRI scans are performed daily. For cochlear implant recipients, MRI safety is especially important, because every cochlear implant has an internal magnet.
Today, you’re getting a first-person view of a BONEBRIDGE implantation. As part of the MED-EL Surgical Video Library, this surgical case study is presented in crystal-clear 4K HD. You’ll have a clear view of surgical techniques and anatomical structures, including creating a sub-periosteal pocket, creating a recess in the mastoid, and proper fixation of the
