As the first clinically translated machine-neural interface, cochlear implants (CI) have
demonstrated much success in providing hearing to those with severe to profound hearing …

Objective: The insertion of the electrode array is a critical step in cochlear implantation.
Herein we comprehensively investigate the impact of the alignment angle and feed-forward …

(1) Background: During a cochlear implant insertion, the mechanical trauma can cause
residual hearing loss in up to half of implantations. The forces on the cochlea during the …

Cochlear implant restores hearing loss through electrical stimulation of the hearing nerve
from within the cochlea. Unfortunately, surgical implantation of this neuroprosthesis often …

The mammalian cochlea is a snail-shaped structure deeply that is embedded in the
temporal bone and harbors the auditory sensory epithelium–the organ of Corti. Since the …

Cochlear variability is of key importance for the clinical use of cochlear implants, the most
successful neuroprosthetic device that is surgically placed into the cochlear scala tympani …

Modern therapy of inner ear disorders is increasingly shifting to local drug delivery using a
growing number of pharmaceuticals. Access to the inner ear is usually made via the round …

Objective There is still a lack in precise postoperative evaluation of the cochlea because of
strong artifacts. This study aimed to improve accuracy of postoperative two-turn (2TL) and …

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a semi-automated segmentation approach
that identifies the round window niche (RWN) and round window membrane (RWM) for use …

Background IP-II is a commonly implanted cochlear malformation. Detailed knowledge of
intracochlear three-dimensional (3D) morphology may assist with cochlear implant (CI) …
