What is it about?
Patients undergo various tests before CI, including the promontory test and TympEALR for auditory nerve assessment. 16 patients, 7 showed positive responses, albeit with more artifacts.

Why is it important?
TympEALR is a promising non-invasive method, but more research is needed for its role in CI decisions.
Perspectives
It was a great pleasure to write this article. This new approach eases testing for clinicians and especially reduce invasiveness in CI candidacy patients. No cut of the ear drum and no anesthesia needed. Therefore, we could do the test like other AEP routinely in the AEP room instead of a surgery room.
