Cochlear implantation in congenital cochlear abnormalities

Cochlear implantation in congenital cochlear abnormalities

Many children have benefited from cochlear implant device including those with congenital malformation of the inner ear. The results reported in children with malformed cochlea are very encouraging. We describe 2 cases of Mondini’s malformation with severe sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implan...
