Most cochlear implant recipients report an improvement in speech clarity and understanding. Despite successful outcomes for clients, predicting the results of cochlear implantation can be challenging for clinicians and a barrier for some when considering this life-changing technology. One possible cause of outcome variability is the formation of scar tissue around the electrode, which, in some cases, can lead to poorer outcomes and impact device function. Scarring within the cochlea is not entirely unexpected following cochlear implant surgery. It is the bodyΓÇÖs way of reacting to the electrode, which it sees as a foreign body. However, the ability to accurately determine cochlear scarring and the extent of scarring has been almost impossible without invasive surgery
