These included 11 children with narrow internal auditory canals and 4 deaf adults with severe cochlear ossification. In each patient, a 12-channel ABI electrode was placed in the cochlear nucleus complex via a retrosigmoid approach. Auditory performance was evaluated using the Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) index and sound detection and word identification tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      One year after ABI placement, 13 of 15 patients showed adequate or significantly improved auditory function based on the CAP scores at the last follow-up. Generally, adult patients tended to show better CAP scores (3.50) than pediatric patients (2.15), but the difference was not significant (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .058).
