Investigation of a New Electrode Array Technology for a Central Auditory Prosthesis
Ongoing clinical studies on patients recently implanted with the auditory midbrain implant (AMI) into the inferior colliculus (IC) for hearing restoration have shown that these patients do not achieve performance levels comparable to cochlear implant patients. The AMI consists of a single-shank array (20 electrodes) for stimulation along the tonotopic axis of the IC. Recent findings suggest tha...
متن کاملHistological and physiological effects of the central auditory prosthesis: surface versus penetrating electrodes.
To rehabilitate profoundly deaf patients who are not suitable for cochlear implants, central auditory prostheses have been implanted. To compare two possible electrode configurations - penetrating and surface ones - electrical stimulation of the cochlear nucleus with both types of arrays was tested on guinea pigs and cats. Electrophysiological, autoradiographic and histological measures were us...
متن کاملMorphological Detection and Functional Assessment of Regenerated Nerve after Neural Prosthesis with a PGLA Nerve Conduit
This study aimed to observe the morphological characteristics of a PGLA [poly(glycolide-co-L-lactide)] nerve conduit and regenerated nerve bundle in the human body using high-frequency ultrasound and examine functional recovery of the regenerated nerve using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) after neural prosthesis with a PGLA nerve conduit. Thirty-nine patients underwent high-freque...
متن کامل[Auditory results used to compare a Teflon prosthesis vs a Schucknecht type wire/Teflon prosthesis].
PURPOSE To compare a Teflon prosthesis to a piston-type wire/Teflon prosthesis assessing auditory results post-Stapedectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled blinded clinical study from June 2003 to August 2004 at the Otorhinolaryngology, and Head and Neck Surgical Wards at the highly specialized medical unit of "La Raza" General Hospital National Medical Cen ter in M...
متن کاملThe subretinal microphotodiode array retinal prosthesis.
This article is also accessible online at: http://BioMedNet.com/karger To the Editor: We are concerned to read the recent article by Zrenner et al. [1]. While developing an artificial retina is a laudable goal, the publication of this article raises serious questions. The fundamental concern that we have is that the article creates the overall impression that the concept of placing a semiconduc...
