Cover Story: This study analyzed a large dataset of over 1000 cochleae to understand global and local variations in cochlear anatomy, scala tympani and cochlear duct trajectories, inter-gender comparison, and inter and intra-individual variability for developing less traumatic electrode arrays for cochlear implantation. The study challenges some popular hypotheses and has significant implications for CI surgery in preserving residual hearing and reducing insertion trauma and tip fold-overs leading to better hearing outcomes for patients. The use of an AI-based automated cochlear image analysis platform, Nautilus, enables large-scale anatomical studies and is beneficial for cochlear implant manufacturers, surgeons, and audiologists.
