We’ll discuss the impact of unilateral hearing loss, FDA and insurance criteria, and updates on coverage. Our pre-operative test battery for SSD CI candidacy will be described, along with programming considerations. Case studies will highlight both successful and challenging outcomes, including outcomes obtained by patients who receive a CI during vestibular schwannoma surgery.

Robotic-Assisted Cochlear Implant (CI) Procedures Are Here
iotaMotion, Inc. CEU courses
Presented by Alyson Schapira, AuD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #41931Level: Introductory1 Hour
As CI criteria expand, the focus has shifted from simple placement to preserving delicate intracochlear structures and residual hearing. iotaSOFT® is the first and only FDA-cleared robotic-assisted cochlear implant electrode array insertion system designed to reduce trauma in patients 4 years and older.


Recent data indicate that robotic-assisted insertion is superior in maintaining long-term, stable hearing across different manufacturers, with an 85% hearing preservation rate compared to 71% in manual cases (Khan, et. al, 2026). The robotic cohort demonstrated significantly lower rates of delayed-onset hearing loss (DOHL), suggesting that the precision of a controlled insertion reduces intracochlear trauma. Robotic insertion reduced DOHL by nearly one-third.

Join our course to explore how the iotaSOFT system: Standardizes the most critical surgical step with sub-millimeter precision; Delivers superior, long-term hearing outcomes; and Drives program growth by transforming patient apprehension into action.
