Cochlear implantation for hearing impaired patients plays a decisive role in modern auditory rehabilitation. Perimodiolar electrode arrays may fold over during the insertion and, hence, could have a negative impact on audiological outcome. Characteristic electrophysiologic changes to possibly predict this were not found in our series.
