Robotic‐Assisted Electrode Array Insertion Improves Rates of Hearing Preservation

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The purpose of our study is to understand the extent to which robotic‐assisted electrode array (EA) insertion improves hearing preservation. Our results show that robotic‐assisted EA insertion is associated with improved hearing preservation over 1 year compared with manual insertion.

Deletion of the Ca2+-activated potassium (BK) alpha-subunit but not the BK-beta-1-subunit leads to progressive hearing loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The large conductance voltage- and Ca2+-activated potassium (BK) channel has been suggested to play an important role in the signal transduction process of cochlear inner hair cells.

Fate of Embryonic Stem Cells Transplanted into the Deafened Mammalian Cochlea

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2006
Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), the primary afferent neurons of the cochlea, degenerate following a sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to lack of trophic support normally received from hair cells.

Cyclodextrins and Iatrogenic Hearing Loss: New Drugs with Significant Risk

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Cyclodextrins are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides with widespread usage in medicine, industry and basic sciences owing to their ability to solubilize and stabilize guest compounds.

Cochlear Implantation and Facial Nerve Stimulation: Clinical and Anatomic Correlations

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
One rare complication of cochlear implantation (CI) is facial nerve stimulation (FNS) and in this study the location and insertion depths for electrode contacts causing FNS was analyzed, and the anatomical variance of the human facial nerve canal (FNC) was explored to elucidate the mechanisms underlying FNS.

Factors Affecting Audiometric and Speech Perception Outcomes in Hybrid Cochlear Implant Recipients

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Hybrid L24 cochlear implant recipients maintained functionally aidable low‐frequency hearing through 5 years at a rate of 73%, with significant improvements in speech perception in quiet and noise, and EAS users showing superior speech scores compared to electric‐only users.

NAVIS: Neuromorphic Auditory VISualizer Tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This software presents diverse utilities to perform the first post-processing layer taking the neuromorphic auditory sensors (NAS) information. The used NAS implements in FPGA a cascade filters architecture, imitating the behavior of the basilar membrane

Macrophages in the Human Cochlea: Saviors or Predators—A Study Using Super-Resolution Immunohistochemistry

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
The human inner ear, which is segregated by a blood/labyrinth barrier, contains resident macrophages [CD163, ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (IBA1)-, and CD68-positive cells] within the connective tissue, neurons, and supporting cells.

How I Do It: Middle Fossa Approach of Facial Nerve Decompression

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We present a reproducible, stepwise middle fossa approach for facial nerve decompression focused on the labyrinthine segment, geniculate ganglion, and meatal foramen, with consistent anatomical landmarks to preserve hearing. The article and video detail patient setup, safe corridor creation, and retrograde drilling with practical tips to avoid cochlear
