ABSTRACT
Tuberculous otitis media (TOM) is rare in ENT department, and is frequently misdiagnosed as otitis media. Thus early systemic treatment is very important for TOM. We reported a case report with TOM to highlight development of the disease and difficulties in clinical treatment in late stage of TOM. Implantation of ossified and eroded cochlea poses many unique challenges to both the surgeon and programming team. With thorough preparation and complete knowledge about characters of specific issues, implantation would be performed successfully, and patients with ossified cochlear could benefit from cochlear implantation.
