The SME can be implanted in any cases unless the integrity of the modiolus is totally compromised. Due to its slim design and tight modiolar-hugging feature, good functional outcome can also be anticipated. Additionally, it is suitable for revision surgeries possibly allowing better hearing outcomes which may be attributed to its closer proximity to the modiolus.
