    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PT SUFFERED FROM MENINGITIS BEFORE IMPLANTATION OF HIS COCHLEAR IMPLANT. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE PT ALSO HAD OSSIFICATION, AND DURING IMPLANTATION THE STANDARD ELECTRODE ARRAY COULD ONLY GET INSERTED UP TO 4 - 5 ELECTRODE CHANNELS. IT WAS TRIED TO ADJUST THE FITTING MAP, BUT THE PT COULD NOT GET ANY BENEFIT. THE PT WAS EXPLANTED ON (B)(6) 2011.
