Unlabelled: : Background: Accurate intracochlear positioning of electrode arrays is critical for optimizing auditory outcomes during cochlear implantation (CI). While radiographic imaging remains the standard for postoperative evaluation, Transimpedance Matrix (TIM) measurements have emerged as a promising intraoperative technique for real-time assessment of electrode placement, particularly with a Slim Modiolar Electrode Array.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 15 patients (24 ears) who underwent CI using CI532® and CI632® electrode arrays.
Objective: Speech matrix tests offer information about a person's capacity to comprehend speech in noisy environments, which is an essential component of everyday communication, in contrast to pure tone audiometry, which primarily assesses hearing sensitivity. This study aimed to assess the test-retest reliability of the Arabic Speech Matrix test.
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study that included three groups: normal hearing individuals, cochlear implant users, and those using hearing aids.

Objective: This study evaluates the feasibility of reducing in-person appointments by utilizing Remote Check (RC) in pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients and investigates the most suitable age range for implementing RC.
Methods: Fifty-eight pediatric CI recipients, aged 1-17 years, were evaluated using a web-based RC application by audiologists. Most (84.
