Performing Intracochlear Electrocochleography During Cochlear Implantation

Klaus Schuerch^1,2, Manuel Waser¹, Georgios Mantokoudis¹, Lukas Anschuetz¹, Wilhelm Wimmer^1,2, Marco Caversaccio^1,2, Stefan Weder¹

¹Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, ²Hearing Research Laboratory, ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research, University of Bern

Electrocochleography (ECochG) measures inner ear potentials generated in response to acoustic stimulation. In cochlear implant (CI) candidates, such inner ear potentials can be measured directly with the implant electrodes. In this video, we systematically explain how to perform ECochG recordings during CI surgery.
