Abstract : INTRODUCTION: Hearing loss is the highly predominant sensory deficit in humans. The prevalence of hearing loss rises with age. A cochlear implant is a hearing prosthesis designed to restore or provide a level of auditory sensation to adults and children who have severe to profound bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment and who get limited benefit from hearing aids. Implantable hearing aids are able to restore hearing in moderately and profoundly sensorineural hearing loss patients. The majority of devices, such as the cochlear implant (CI) and the direct acoustical cochlea stimulator. OTOPLAN provides Virtual Trajectory Planning feature that lets us simulate and plan an individualized surgical approach pre-operatively in few simple steps. The virtual trajectory planning starts by selecting a single target anatomical structure and defining the ideal and actual surgical trajectory. METHODOLOGY: The current study was a prospective pilot study that was carried out in Otolaryngology and Audiology clinic at King Abdul-Aziz university hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It was conducted on 6 patients, a total of 10 ears whereby 4 patients had a single ear implant and the other 3 had both ears implanted. All 6 patients were diagnosed with idiopathic congenital sensorineural hearing loss. RESULTS: The cochlear parameter of the selected 10 ears was calculated by the Otoplan and included: the diameter of the cochlea, the height of the cochlea, the width and Estimated Cochlear duct length (CDL). CONCLUION: OTOPLAN is ideal surgical planning software for cochlear implant procedures. This tool empowers surgeons, audiologists, and radiologists by detailed 3D visualization and detailed information of the cochlea and cochlear duct. Key Words: OTOPLAN, Cochlear implant, sensorineural hearing loss.
