μCT was accurate in visualizing cochlear structures, and course and scalar position of electrode array inside cochlea with any possible trauma to cochlea or array. CBCT offers a good alternative to μCT in clinical practice for cochlear imaging and evaluation of CI°, with lower radiation and higher resolution than multi-slice CT. Difficulties related to non-traumatic CI° are multifactorial.
