Objective: This study is designed to test the hypothesis that preservation of residual hearing in a pediatric population is possible using standard electrode arrays with full-length insertions. Surgical technique during implantation also is described.Study Design: Retrospective review of patient medical records.Setting: Academic tertiary care center.Patients: Thirty-one severely to profoundly hearing impaired pediatric patients with some residual hearing precochlear implantation.Intervention: Cochlear implantation using a modified "soft surgery" protocol.Main Outcome Measures: Preimplant and postimplant pure tone thresholds and pure-tone average were calculated from unaided preoperative and postoperative audiograms from 250, 500, and 1,000 Hz. Hearing preservation rates were determined to be complete (loss of
