Dear Auditory List, This is a call for all cochlear implant surgeons around here! Steroid use in cochlear implant surgeries has shown significant potential to reduce inflammation and improve patient outcomes. However, practices surrounding their use vary widely across centers. Understanding these practices is vital to optimizing care and advancing best practices in the field. Do you perform cochlear implant surgeries? If so, we would love to learn about your approach. Whether you incorporate steroids into your protocol, how you administer them (preoperatively, intraoperatively, or postoperatively), and the rationale behind your choices—your insights are invaluable. Additionally, we are exploring interest in innovations such as steroid-eluting electrodes to shape the future of cochlear implantation. The survey is completely anonymous and takes just 5 minutes to complete. You can access it here: Thank you for your time and expertise. Your participation will contribute to a broader understanding of best practices. Please feel free to share this survey with colleagues who might also provide valuable input. Best regards, Seba Ausili Research Scientist Department of Otolaryngology University of Miami |
