We have now long understood the extensive variability in cochlear size, shape, and morphology, and in recent years, research into this topic has increased. The study of cochlear length dates back to the early 19th century, but recent imaging research has revealed more insights into cochlear anatomy. With the advancement of clinical imaging and software, individual assessment is now possible as part of a clinical routine.
MED-EL has focused decades of research on residual hearing preservation. While remaining hearing is often limited to specific frequency ranges, preserving residual hearing can improve hearing outcomes with a cochlear implant.
