Based on these results, cochlear duct length measurement according to the proposed method may be a reliable and cost-effective method. Indeed, otolaryngology training may be sufficient to provide measurements comparable to radiologists. On the other hand, additional efforts should be invested during otolaryngology training in terms of the evaluation of radiological imaging which may increase the capabilities of otolaryngology residents in this regard.
