Results showed that stimulation of the apical region of the cochlea supports a significant degree of speech understanding, and that distributing the contacts over the whole length of the Cochlear implant electrode improves speech perception in quiet and in noise.

It is concluded that the application of 250 mg has a greater impact on the inner ear than 125 mg, and the therapeutic dose of prednisolone is not known.
Otosclerosis—an inflammatory disease of the otic capsule of viral aetiology?
- W. Arnold, I. Friedmann

- 1 October 1988
A viral aetiology of otosclerosis as an inflammatory vasclar reaction of the otic capsule initiated or caused by the viruses of measles, rubella and mumps is favoured.

The first report on complications of cochlear implantation with the COMBI-40 (Med-el, Innsbruck, Austria).
Otosclerosis: a measles virus associated inflammatory disease.
- H. Niedermeyer, W. Arnold
- Biology, MedicineActa Oto-Laryngologica
- 1 March 1995
The results support the previously stated hypothesis that otosclerosis is a measles virus associated disease which provokes a local immune response within the inner ear.
Measles virus in otosclerosis and the specific immune response of the inner ear.
- W. Arnold, H. Niedermeyer, N. Lehn, W. Neubert, H. Höfler
- Medicine, BiologyActa Oto-Laryngologica
- 1 September 1996
Measles virus specific antibodies were detected in all of the perilymph samples from 19 patients suffering from otosclerosis, and the relative amount of these IgG antibodies was much higher than in serum samples of the same patients or inperilymph of control patients.
Delayed Facial Palsy following Uneventful Middle Ear Surgery: A Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Reactivation?
- V. Bonkowsky, P. Péré, B. Kochanowski, W. Hosemann, J. Strutz, W. Arnold
- MedicineAnnals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology
- 1 November 1998
It is concluded that minimal stimulation of the facial nerve during middle ear surgery could result in a reactivation of HSV-1 in the geniculate ganglion, which may in turn lead to a facial palsy.
