Abstract
Obstruction that occurs within the scala tympani (after meningitis or otosclerosis) has been considered a contraindication for placement of a multichannel cochlear implant electrode. Two patients who exhibited radiographic evidence of intracochlear narrowing and obliteration were implanted with multichannel electrodes. Implantation involved creation of a channel for the electrode to wrap around the modiolus. The middle ear cavity and the external auditory canal also had to be removed to gain access. The response of one of the patients was similar to that of patients with normal cochlear anatomy who use multichannel devices. These early experiences, along with one case in which a single-channel electrode was placed, is presented.
