Effect of Electrode Insertion Angle on Cochlear Implantation Outcomes in Adult and Children Patients with Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Figure 4

Correlation of insertion angle with cochlear implantation (CI) outcomes in the children group. Correlations of insertion angle with postoperative PTA (a), MAIS/IT-MAIS scores (b), mWRS (c), and dWRS (d). PTA: pure tone average; MAIS/IT-MAIS: Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale or the Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale; mWRS: monosyllabic Word Recognition Score; dWRS: disyllabic Word Recognition Score; n.s: no significance.
