Towards the optical cochlear implant: optogenetic approaches for hearing restoration
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020 Cochlear implants (CIs) are considered the most successful neuroprosthesis as they enable speech comprehension in the majority of half a million CI users suffering from sensorineural hearing loss.

Adaptation by normal listeners to upward spectral shifts of speech: Implications for cochlear implants [PDF]
, 1999 Multi-channel cochlear implants typically present spectral information to the wrong ''place'' in the auditory nerve array, because electrodes can only be inserted partway into the cochlea.

Synchrotron‐Based Trauma Assessment of Robotic Electrode Insertions in Cochlear Implantation
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Minimizing intraoperative trauma during cochlear implant electrode insertion is crucial for preserving residual hearing, and efforts have been made to introduce robotic systems for electrode insertion. On temporal bone specimens, the OTODRIVE system demonstrated its ability to enable consistent and controlled electrode placement while minimizing trauma

Mechanisms of synaptic depression at the hair cell ribbon synapse that support auditory nerve function [PDF]
, 2017 Inner hair cells (IHCs) in the cochlea are the mammalian phono-receptors, transducing sound energy into graded changes in membrane potentials, the so called “receptor potentials.” Ribbon synapses between IHCs and auditory nerve neurons are responsible ...

Cochlear Nerve Section for Intractable Tinnitus
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 1995 Tinnitus is a common and often very disturbing symptom. The majority of patients can now be successfully treated either by conservative medical treatment or by specific surgery. Intractable subjective tinnitus originating within the cochlea or cochlear nerve can frequently be successfully treated by cochlear nerve section.

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study examines vestibular degeneration following head trauma, comparing cases with and without fractures. Histopathological analysis of 26 temporal bones showed more severe damage in nonfracture cases, particularly in Scarpa's ganglion cells and vestibular hair cells.

Long‐Term Cochlear Implant Sensitivity in Patients With Far Advanced Otosclerosis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study aimed to evaluate mid‐ and long‐term cochlear implant fitting in otosclerosis patients compared to a control group. It suggested significant tissue remodeling at the cochlear apex in otosclerosis patients, likely increasing resistance to electrical currents delivered by the implant.

“Can you hear me now?”: Insurance Coverage for Hearing Benefits in the United States [PDF]
, 2015 Public and private insurance coverage for hearing benefits underscores the gaps in coverage for treating hearing loss in the U.S. The commodification of the hearing benefits sector of healthcare in this country has detrimental consequences for personal ...
