Abstract
To document the preservation of hearing after electroacoustic (EAS) cochlear reimplantation and to report on a method of managing recurrent air accumulation under the posterior skin flap. Retrospective case report. A single patient report. After successful EAS cochlear implantation with hearing preservation, patient developed recurrent air accumulation under his posterior flap and a subsequent device failure. The patient was reimplanted using EAS protocol and a myringotomy tube used to prevent reaccumulation of air. Preservation of hearing. Hearing was preserved after reimplantation, and air accumulation was avoided. Hearing can be preserved in EAS reimplantation using EAS surgical techniques. Air accumulation can be avoided or treated with a myringotomy tube.
