Case Report: Flap Management in Cochlear Implant to Avoid Magnet Retention Difficulties

Thick skin flaps can hinder magnet retention in cochlear implants. Supra-temporal-muscle receiver coil placement offers a conservative surgical alternative that avoids tissue resection. This technique ensures effective processor coupling, minimizes complications, and supports long-term device function, especially when preoperative imaging identifies flap thickness exceeding standard surgical recommendations.
