The Threshold Equalising Noise (TEN) test can be used to detect cochlear dead regions Patients with cochlear dead regions may gain limited benefit from conventional amplification The TEN test can be used to assess selected cochlear implant candidates who do not meet pure tone audiometry criteria for implantation Our patients with cochlear dead regions had good outcomes following cochlear implantation This article is protected by copyright.
