Patient Experience of Undergoing MRI With a New Active Transcutaneous Bone‐Anchored Hearing Implant
Active transcutaneous bone‐anchored hearing implants belong to a class of devices that may pose challenges in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) settings. In this prospective study, all MRI scans in patients (n = 15) with the Sentio Ti implant were completed without complications, and patients reported generally positive experiences with low levels of ...

A Novel Drug-Loaded Porous Parylene Electrode for Targeted Anti-Inflammatory Therapy and Hearing Preservation in Cochlear Implantation. [PDF]
A porous parylene‐coated electrode loaded with dexamethasone was developed to reduce inflammation after cochlear implantation. In guinea pigs, the device provided sustained drug release, maintained biocompatibility, improved auditory brainstem response thresholds, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and TNF‐α expression.

A Clinical Feasibility Study of Spinal Evoked Compound Action Potential Estimation Methods
Abstract Objectives Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. Recently, SCS has been enhanced further with evoked compound action potential (ECAP) sensing. Characteristics of the ECAP, if appropriately isolated from concurrent stimulation artifact (SA), may be used to control, and aid in the programming of, SCS systems.
