Methods Retrospective case series (three ears - two patients). Cochlear implant patients with severe facial nerve stimulation and degraded speech comprehension who underwent re-implantation with Neuro Zti EVO (Oticon Medical). Results In all three ears, side effects evoked by aberrant facial nerve stimulation could be resolved and thereby speech comprehension was improved. Conclusions Aberrant facial nerve stimulation in cochlear implant patients was successfully resolved by re-implantation. We hypothesize that one or more of the specific stimulus paramet ers are responsible for this success: combined common ground and monopolar stimulation mode, asymmetric pulse waveform with active anodic leading first phase followed by slow capacitive discharge, and pulse width modulation for loudness coding. 收起
