: Thompson and colleagues found that deeper insertion depths and electrode array placement within the functional acoustic hearing region did not significantly predispose cochlear implant recipients to experience delayed loss of residual hearing, even three or more years after surgery. 🦻🏼

: Sloop and colleagues investigated patterns of participant attrition in a cochlear implant (CI) study. While sociodemographic factors did not differ between groups, participants who elected to withdraw had poorer low-frequency acoustic hearing, were less likely to use electric-acoustic stimulation (vs. Cl alone), had more tonotopic mismatch, and showed poorer early word recognition. 🦻🏿
