Abstract
Impedances and stimulation charge influence each other. Increased charge is necessary for higher cochlear implant output. Despite higher charges, patients with obliterated and patients with ossified cochleae significantly perform worse in hearing rehabilitation. Reduced audiological outcome in study group patients without morphologic cochlear changes furthermore hints at additional factors besides cochlear tissue neogenesis like postinflammational changes at the neural pathway.
