    Area of Science:

    • Otoacoustic Emissions
    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Severe sensorineural deafness impacts auditory nerve function.
    • Cochlear implants aim to restore hearing by stimulating auditory nerve fibers.
    • Current cochlear implant electrode insertion methods face challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate a novel approach for cochlear implant electrode insertion.
    • To determine the feasibility of passing an electrode array along the cochlea's full length.
    • To identify critical mechanical properties of electrodes for successful insertion and function.

    Main Methods:

    • Electrode array insertion through an opening in the scala tympani of the apical turn.
    • Evaluation of electrode mechanical properties, including stiffness and extensibility.
