What is it about?

This study explores preopABF vs postopABF for cochlear implants. PreopABF shows promise for better outcomes and patient preference over CBF. While no significant difference was found in apical to medial frequency bands, a difference was observed for medial to basal contacts. PreopABF is clinically practical and cost-effective, but further research is needed on patient preferences.

A significant difference was noted for medial to basal electrode contacts. Subjective experiences of tinnitus and dizziness remained stable from pre-operative assessments to one month post-fitting.
