Objective & Hypothesis:Objectives: This study aims to compare electrode insertion techniques in cochlear implantation (CI) as the standard cochleostomyapproach (SCA) versus the round window approach (RWA) on five vestibular end-organ functions and vertigo in the pre- andpostoperative period.Patients and Methods: In total, 51 patients (22 males, 29 females; mean age 38.2 years; range 16 to 70 years) with normal vestibularfunction and operated with single-sided CI were included in this study between January 2015 and December 2019.
