An Implantable Piezofilm Middle Ear Microphone: Performance in Human Cadaveric Temporal Bones [PDF]
, 2023 Purpose: One of the major reasons that totally implantable cochlear microphones are not readily available is the lack of good implantable microphones. An implantable microphone has the potential to provide a range of benefits over external microphones for cochlear implant users including the filtering ability of the outer ear, cosmetics, and usability ...

Experimental validation of a three-dimensional heat transfer model within the scala tympani with application to magnetic cochlear implant surgery [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2021, 2020 Magnetic guidance of cochlear implants is a promising technique to reduce the risk of physical trauma during surgery. In this approach, a magnet attached to the tip of the implant electrode array is guided within the scala tympani using a magnetic field.

Parameter Tuning of Time-Frequency Masking Algorithms for Reverberant Artifact Removal within the Cochlear Implant Stimulus [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Cochlear implant users struggle to understand speech in reverberant environments. To restore speech perception, artifacts dominated by reverberant reflections can be removed from the cochlear implant stimulus. Artifacts can be identified and removed by applying a matrix of gain values, a technique referred to as time-frequency masking.
