Biosensor functionality for cochlear implants KU Leuven
Cochlear implants (CI) are considered the most successful sensory prosthesis, providing a solution for severe to complete deafness. Despite widespread clinical success of CI, little is known on how to avoid cochlear damage and inflammation during surgical insertion. This is crucial to preserve residual hearing and facilitate re-implantation, which is expected 2-3 times for a congenitally deaf child during lifespan. In this project we will ...
