The use of Cochlear's Slim Modiolar electrode was associated with a significantly increased risk of abnormal intraoperative X-ray compared to the CA electrode. Given the risk of fold-over with routine insertion and normal electrical testing using the Slim Modiolar electrode, we recommend routine use of intraoperative skull X-ray to confirm electrode position.
