Introduction The cochlear anatomy varies in each individual, and that has an impact on decisions regarding the insertion of electrodes. The measurement of the cochlear size is the routine examination required to choose the proper cochlear implant (CI) electrodes. Objective To acquire normative data on the size of the cochlea (length, width, height, scala timpani [ST] height, cochlear duct length [CDL]) of CI candidates in Medan, Indonesia. Methods This descriptive study was conducted based on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) temporal bone data and on HRCT temporal data manipulated to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) multiplanar images with OsiriX MD DICOM Viewer version 9.5.1 (Pixmeo SARL, Bernex, Geneva, Switzerland) viewer of 18 patients (36 ears) who were CI candidates in Medan, Indonesia, in order to determine cochlear length (A), cochlear width, cochlear height, ST height and CDL, calculated through a simple mathematical function. Results The average cochlear length (A) was 8.75 mm (standard deviation [SD] = 0.31 mm); the average cochlear width was 6.53 mm (SD = 0.35 mm); the average cochlear height was 3.26 mm (SD = 0.24 mm) and the average ST height at the basal cochlea was 1.00 mm (SD = 0.1 mm); and 0.71 mm (SD = 0.1 mm) at the half turn of cochlea. The average total CDL was 32.45 mm (SD = 1.31 mm; range: 30.01–34.83 mm). Conclusion The cochlear size varies in each individual; therefore, the temporal bone measurement of CI candidates using HRCT is essential: for the selection of suitable implant electrodes; to minimize cochlear damages at the insertion of the electrode arrays; and to maximize the hearing improvements.

AbstractThe choice of a cochlear implant electrode carrier for the individual patient is influenced by cochlear size, as this parameter has an impact on the risk of scala dislocations. Therefore, size and morphology should be represented in artificial cochlear models too, since these are generally used for insertion studies evaluating newly developed cochlear implant electrode carriers and insertion techniques, before human temporal bone studies are applied for. Within this study custom-made electrode carrier test samples were inserted into nine artificial cochlear models of different shape. To fabricate them, four human temporal bone samples have been processed by a serial cross-sectioning technique; the other four samples have been scanned with micro computed tomography. The cochlea was segmented on this data using rotating, midmodiolar slice planes, followed by the generation of a three-dimensional digital model, which finally was projected on a plane and 2D models were milled out of PTFE. The ratios of length to width of the cochlear basal turn of our samples were found to be within previously reported range. For comparative reasons a model used in previous studies was included in this study too. The maximal insertion forces per cochlear model followed a normal distribution. The insertion depth at initial insertion force increase is correlated to the length of cochlear basal turn. Using the here presented cochlear models with varying anatomical measures may help to increase the clinical relevance of insertion studies in artificial cochlear models.
