Abstract
Electrocochleography (ECochG) represents apromising approach for monitoring cochlear function during cochlear implantation and for investigating the causes of residual cochlear function loss after implantation. This paper provides an overview of the current research and application status of ECochG, both during and after cochlear implantation. Intraoperative ECochG can be conducted either via the implant itself or an extracochlear measuring electrode. Postoperative ECochG recordings are also feasible via the implant. Various studies have demonstrated that asignificant decrease in ECochG amplitude during electrode insertion correlates with an increased risk of losing residual cochlear function, with critical cochlear events occurring primarily towards the end of the insertion. Postoperative data suggest that the loss of cochlear function mainly occurs in the early postoperative phase. Future research directions include the automation and objectification of signal analysis, as well as amore in-depth investigation into the underlying mechanisms of these signal changes.
