Abstract
A case is reported in which a Nucleus 22 channel cochlear implant nias inserted into the basal turn of the cochlea of a patient with advance d otosclerosis. It then passed out of the anterior end of the basal tu rn into an otospongiotic cavity related to the cochlea. Seven electrod es were located in the basal turn and it was possible to map them suff iciently well for the patient to derive considerable benefit from the implant. The problem of implant induced facial nerve stimulation in ot ospongiosis is also discussed.
