Inclusion criteria

  • Candidate for unilateral or bilateral cochlear implantation according to indications for use with FDA approved cochlear implant devices
  • Age 9 months to less than 12 years old at the time of CI surgery
  • Willingness to participate in the study and able to comply with the follow-up visit requirements

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior cochlear implantation in the ear to be implanted
  • Ossification or any other cochlear anomaly that might prevent complete insertion of the electrode array or present an increased risk of aberrant insertion
  • Craniofacial abnormality, temporal squamosal skull thickness less than 3mm, major cochlear lesions, or cochlear malformations
  • Deafness due to lesions of the acoustic nerve or central auditory pathway
  • Diagnosis of auditory neuropathy.
  • Active middle-ear infection or tympanic membrane perforation in the presence of active middle-ear disease
  • Absence of cochlear development
  • Additional medical concerns that would prevent participation in evaluations as determined by the investigator
  • Planned or current participation in a clinical study of an investigational device or drug
