ABSTRACT
The cochlear form of otosclerosis is characterized by irreversible metabolic changes that lead to complete hearing loss. Cochlear implantation, which is a high-tech method of rehabilitation for patients with profound hearing loss and complete deafness, becomes an opportunity for hearing restoration. However, CI in patients with cochlear otosclerosis may be accompanied by a number of difficulties due to the remodeling of the cochlea of varying severity. Thus, changes in the bony labyrinth play a crucial role in the management of patients with the cochlear form of otosclerosis and sensorineural hearing loss IV.
