}}'''Cochlear implant surgery''' is a novel surgical approach to address deafness and sensorineural hearing loss. The surgery consists of implanting a cochlear implant device that resides externally and receives and processes sound, and an internal component that transmits the received sound and stimulates the cochlear nerve<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Naples|first=James G.|last2=Ruckenstein|first2=Michael J.|date=2020-02|title=Cochlear Implant|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31677740|journal=Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America|volume=53|issue=1|pages=87–102|doi=10.1016/j.otc.2019.09.004|issn=1557-8259|pmid=31677740}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Mowry|first=Sarah E.|last2=Woodson|first2=Erika|date=2020-01-01|title=Cochlear Implant Surgery|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31556929|journal=JAMA otolaryngology-- head & neck surgery|volume=146|issue=1|pages=92|doi=10.1001/jamaoto.2019.2274|issn=2168-619X|pmid=31556929}}</ref>.

Cochlear implant surgery is a novel surgical approach to address deafness and sensorineural hearing loss. The surgery consists of implanting a cochlear implant device that resides externally and receives and processes sound, and an internal component that transmits the received sound and stimulates the cochlear nerve[1][2]. This surgery has been applied to post-lingual adults and prelingual children with hearing loss. Typically, during surgery, a 2-channel electrode is used to monitor the upper and lower divisions of the facial nerve. The classical approach is a posterior tympanotomy - used both for adults and children. A suprameatal approach is reserved for patients with anatomical variations.
