Traumatic Cochlear Implant Electrode Extrusion: Considerations, Management, and Outcome
2021
Case Reports in Otolaryngology
Cochlear implantation is the mainstay for patients with severe to profound hearing loss that do not benefit from hearing aids. Falls and head trauma can cause direct damage to the implant, of which hard failure is the most common complication. Traumatic electrode migration is an uncommon occurrence.

We discuss the factors influencing the decision-making process, progress, and outcomes.
