🎉 We are proud to share that HEARRING members have collaborated on a new publication on one of our key focus topic, Hearing and Structure Preservation in Cochlear Implantation Surgery.
This new international HEARRING survey of 31 experts from 16 countries shows a growing consensus that hearing and structure preservation (HSP) should be a goal for all cochlear implant patients, not only those with residual hearing.
Experts strongly agreed on key atraumatic surgical techniques, including slow insertion, flexible electrodes, round-window access, and intraoperative corticosteroids. The findings are an important step toward more standardized HSP practice, with training, technology, and international collaboration remaining key priorities.
