Abstrakt:	Objective: To determine the relationship between intraoperative electrocochleography (ECochG) measurements and residual hearing preservation after cochlear implant (CI) surgery by comparing differences between preoperative and immediate postoperative bone conduction thresholds. Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Tertiary academic referral center. Patients: Sixteen patients with preoperative residual hearing and measurable (no-vibrotactile) bone conduction thresholds at 250 and/or 500 Hz who underwent cochlear implantation. Main Outcome Measure: Intraoperative ECochG and air and bone conduction thresholds. Results: Nine patients showed no significant drop (<30%) in ECochG amplitude during CI surgery with an average preoperative and immediate postoperative BC threshold of 46 and 39 dB HL, respectively, at 500 Hz. Seven patients with a decrease in ECochG amplitude of 30% or greater showed an average preoperative 500 Hz BC threshold of 32 dB HL and immediate postoperative threshold of 55 dB HL. Air and bone conduction thresholds measured approximately 1 month after CI surgery show delayed-onset of hearing loss across our study patients. Conclusions: A small decrease (<30%) in difference response or cochlear microphonics amplitude correlates with no significant changes in immediate postoperative residual hearing, whereas patients who show larger changes (≥30%) in difference response or cochlear microphonics amplitude during intraoperative ECochG measurements show significant deterioration in BC thresholds. This study reveals the necessity of prompt postoperative bone conduction measurement to isolate the intraoperative cochlear trauma that may be detected during intraoperative ECochG measurements. Although delayed postoperative audiometrics represent longer-term functional hearing, it includes the sum of all postoperative changes during the recovery period, including subacute changes after implantation that may occur days or weeks later. Measuring air and bone conduction thresholds immediately postoperatively will better isolate factors influencing intraoperative, early postoperative, and delayed postoperative hearing loss. This will ultimately help refine surgical technique, device design, and highlight the use of intraoperative ECochG in monitoring cochlear trauma during CI surgery.
