Localization of Cochlear Implant Electrodes from Cone Beam Computed Tomography using Particle Belief Propagation [PDF]
Cochlear implants (CIs) are implantable medical devices that can restore the hearing sense of people suffering from profound hearing loss. The CI uses a set of electrode contacts placed inside the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerve with current pulses.

Drug‐induced renal damage impairs uric acid excretion, causing its accumulation in the serum, which subsequently infiltrates the cochlea. Xanthine oxidase and the ABCG2 transporter, critical in uric acid metabolism and excretion, undergo pathological changes in renal tubular and cochlear stria vascularis cells.

Endoscopic vs. volumetric OCT imaging of mastoid bone structure for pose estimation in minimally invasive cochlear implant surgery [PDF]
Purpose: The facial recess is a delicate structure that must be protected in minimally invasive cochlear implant surgery. Current research estimates the drill trajectory by using endoscopy of the unique mastoid patterns. However, missing depth information limits available features for a registration to preoperative CT data.

Micromagnetic stimulation (µMS) offers a precise method for neural inhibition, complementing existing neuromodulation techniques. Using an implantable micro‐coil device, µMS selectively suppresses cortical activity with high spatial resolution. It effectively counteracts micro‐electrode stimulation and reduces seizure amplitude, highlighting its ...

A novel method for obtaining a better quality speech signal for cochlear Implants using kalman with drnl and ssb technique [PDF]
Cochlear implant devices are known to exist since a long time. The purpose of the present work is to develop a speech algorithm for obtaining robust speech. In this paper, the technique of cochlear implant is first introduced, followed by discussions of some of the existing techniques available for obtaining speech.

In this article, the concerns surrounding the potential toxicity of excess dopant in commercial widely utilized poly(3,4‐ethyelenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate formulations in organic bioelectronic applications is addressed. A simple method to remove this excess dopant with the aim of improving material cytocompatibility is presented. Materials
