Nanotechnology based cochlear implant with gapless interface to auditory neurons (NANOCI)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Over 60 million of citizens in the EU suffer from hearing loss with its associated restrictions. In severe cases, hearing can only be restored by surgically implanting a neuroprosthesis called cochlear implant, which directly stimulates the auditory nerve.The bottleneck for optimal stimulation is caused by the anatomical gap between the electrode array and the auditory neurons in the inner ear. As ...
