Fig. 2 — Individual cochlear duct lengths (CDL) and suitability for specific electrode array lengths. CDL assessed at the lateral wall (A) or at the organ of corti (B) for individual cochleae (represented by bars). The light grey section of the bar indicates a linear insertion depth between 70% and 80% cochlear coverage (CC) based on linear (A) and non-linear (B) models. Dotted lines indicate the linear insertion depth of a 26 mm, a 28 mm and a 31.5 mm electrode array. Below, color-coded bars indicate the suitability of specific electrode array lengths based on a 70% and 80% CC (red: not suited, green: suited). C Agreement between linear and non-linear model of suitable electrode array lengths (green: both models estimate electrode array as suitable; yellow: models do not agree on suitability of estimated electrode array; red: both models estimate electrode array as not suitable)
