Current trends in bilateral cochlear implantation (CI) favor a minimally invasive subperiosteal pocket technique. Symmetric receiver-stimulator (R/S) placement is an important goal for bilateral CI, especially with regard to patient satisfaction. In this article, we describe a method easily adopted to achieve optimal symmetry. Upon reviewing the Senior Author's 11 bilateral CI cases using the direct subperiosteal pocket technique with the proposed "mirror template," we found improved symmetry, which translated into high patient and family satisfaction regarding the aesthetics of the symmetric R/S placement.
