title: [Placement of intracochlear electrodes with Healon].
abstract: The cochlear implant surgeon would like to insert the electrodes into the cochlea as deep as possible. With the Nucleus Cochlear Implant Mini System 22 often he succeeds until even all 10 blind rings disappear in the cochlea. By coating the electrodes with hyaluronic acid (Healon) it will be facilitated and additionally we expect a cytoprotective effect for the cell structures of the inner ear.
