Lint: cochlear-implant

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"The implant provides recipients with additional auditory information, including fine sound discrimination, enabling them to understand speech in quiet environments. Post-implantation rehabilitative therapy is often critical to ensuring successful outcomes."

Line 3:169 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Post-implantation'.

"Pre-operative evaluation"

Line 5:5 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Pre-operative'.

"Post-operative evaluation"

Line 9:5 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Post-operative'.
Contractions
error

"tympanic cavity placement: typically seen in the context of CHARGE syndrome where the array can't make the basal turn and sits in the tympanic cavity"

Line 31:114 · Never use contractions: use 'cannot' in place of 'can't'.
En Dash
error

"Usually thin-collimation (≤1 mm) scanning performed contiguously or with a 0.51-mm overlap is required."

Line 51:82 · Use a hyphen-minus ('-') instead of an en-dash ('–').
