Toward Optogenetic Hearing Restoration
Annual Review of NeuroscienceThe cochlear implant (CI) is considered the most successful neuroprosthesis as it enables speech comprehension in the majority of the million otherwise deaf patients. In hearing by electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve, the broad spread of current from each electrode acts as a bottleneck that limits the transfer of sound frequency information ...

Understanding Molecular Evolution and Development of the Organ of Corti Can Provide Clues for Hearing Restoration. [PDF]
Integr Comp Biol, 2018 The mammalian hearing organ is a stereotyped cellular assembly with orderly innervation: two types of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) innervate two types of differentially distributed hair cells (HCs).

Hearing Restoration in Neurofibromatosis Type II Patients. [PDF]
Yonsei Med J, 2016 Patients with neurofibromatosis type II will eventually succumb to bilateral deafness. For patients with hearing loss, modern medical science technology can provide efficient hearing restoration through a number of various methods.

Towards optogenetic approaches for hearing restoration
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2020 Hearing impairment (HI) is the most frequent sensory deficit in humans. As yet there is no causal therapy for sensorineural HI - the most common form - that results from cochlear dysfunction. Hearing aids and electrical cochlear implants (eCIs) remain the key options for hearing rehabilitation. The eCI, used by more than 0.7 Mio people with profound HI

Neurofibromatosis 2: hearing restoration options. [PDF]
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol, 2012 Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disease in which hearing loss is predominant. Auditory restoration is possible using cochlear implants (CI) or auditory brainstem implant (ABI).To assess the auditory results of CI and ABI in NF2 patients and review the literature.Four NF2 patients were prospectively evaluated.

A physiological and behavioral system for hearing restoration with cochlear implants.
J Neurophysiol, 2016 Cochlear implants are neuroprosthetic devices that provide hearing to deaf patients, although outcomes are highly variable even with prolonged training and use.
