Abstract
To describe the potential applications of awake cochlear implantation (CI).
Adult patients with sensorineural hearing loss who qualify for CI.
CI under local anesthesia, without any form of systemic analgesia or anesthesia.
Acoustic hearing preservation, subjective patient report of cochlear implant pitch matching, and subjective patient report of cochlear implant sound quality.
Four illustrative cases are presented, highlighting the potential uses of CI performed under local anesthesia for optimizing outcomes in hearing preservation, implant pitch matching, and implant sound quality.
CI under local anesthesia allows surgeons to use real-time patient feedback during electrode array insertion to minimize intracochlear trauma, particularly in cases where hearing preservation is a goal of CI, and to potentially improve implant performance by optimizing pitch matching and sound quality.
