Abstract
Cochlear nerve deficiency (CND) may exist alone or be accompanied by other inner ear malformations (IEMs), especially cochlear malformation, which may pose a challenge for cochlear implantation (CI) surgery. The implant side and sequence selection need to be considered based on the different IEMs, CND classifications, and residual hearing. This chapter mainly introduces the CI surgical approaches, side selection, and electrode choice strategies for CND patients based on the clinical requirements and the experience at our center.
