In the researchers' words

The purpose of this study is to evaluate, via a randomised controlled design, the efficacy of the robotic insertion of cochlear implant, versus manual insertion. Robotic insertion will be performed using Robotol. This is a three years interventional study involving adults with profound bilateral hearing loss. Eligible subjects will be randomized in two groups : robotic insertion, or manual insertion. Each patient will be followed during 12 months.
