Summary

The research team will evaluate pupillary dilation from vagal nerve stimulation of Arnold's Nerve, a branch of the vagus nerve, during routine cochlear implantation surgery.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Electrical stimulator

Electrical stimulation will be used to stimulate the Arnold's nerve and measure pupil dilation. The electrical stimulator is part of the standard facial nerve monitoring unit that we utilize in cochlear implantation and will be setup prior to surgery in standard fashion. The device allows for constant current stimulation, with stimulus range between 0-30 mA.
