Figure 6

Higher power micrographs of representative cochleae illustrating the location of the electrode array relative to cochlear anatomy. (a) a standard array located in the lower basal turn; (b) a Hybrid-L24 array located in the lower basal turn; (c) a Hybrid-L24 array located in the upper basal turn; and (d) a Hybrid-L24 array located at the intersection between the lower and upper basal turns. Although both electrode arrays occupy a small cross-sectional area of the lower basal turn scala tympani, the Hybrid-L24 array occupies the majority of the scala tympani in the upper basal turn. Despite this, there was no evidence of electrode insertion trauma. Scale bar = 500 µm.
