Even with a technical upgrade, reimplantation does not improve speech perception outcome in CI patients. Therefore, the indication to reimplant should be approved critically. Reimplantation does not lead to a significantly increased risk for partial insertion, scalar dislocation or diminished electrode array insertion angle.
