Cochlear duct length versus angular insertion depth. A Scatter gram of the CDL (y-axis) and cochlear coverage (x-axis) between the two electrode types FLEX28™ and FLEXSOFT™. The grey dots represent patients who received a FLEX28™ electrode, the black crosses patients with FLEXSOFT™ electrodes. The dotted grey line at the active stimulating length of 720° indicates the length of 2 windings of the cochlear. B Distribution function of CDL (y-axis) and share of patients in percent (x-axis). The solid grey line indicates the mean of CDL, the dotted grey line the standard deviation. AID angular insertion depth; CDL cochlear duct length
