Biological systems can perform complex tasks with high compliance levels. This makes them
a great source of inspiration for soft robotics. Indeed, the union of these fields has brought …

Cochlear implant electrode arrays are designed with specific characteristics that allow for
the preservation of intra-cochlear structures during the insertion process, as well as during …

Indications for cochlear implants are determined by audiological and medical
considerations. Clinical imaging is therefore an integral element for anatomical evaluation in …

Objective In the field of cochlear implantation, the current trend toward patient-specific
electrode selection and the achievement of optimal audiologic outcomes has resulted in …

The human inner ear has an intricate spiral shape often compared to shells of mollusks,
particularly to the nautilus shell. It has inspired many functional hearing theories. The …

In view of the prevalence of sensorineural hearing defects in an ageing population, the
development of protocols to generate cochlear hair cells and their associated sensory …

The cortical bone that forms the structure of the cochlea, part of the osseous labyrinth of the
inner ear, is now one of the most frequently used skeletal elements in analyses of human …

Objective: This study reviewed outcomes of hearing preservation (HP) surgery in a cochlear
implant patient population, with clinical follow-up results up to 11 years after implantation …

DNA recovery from ancient human remains has revolutionized our ability to reconstruct the
genetic landscape of the past. Ancient DNA research has benefited from the identification of …

Cochlear implants are neural implant devices that aim to restore hearing in patients with
severe sensorineural hearing impairment. Here, the main goal is to successfully place the …
