Reliability of start and stop control of hydraulic actuation for the insertion of electrode arrays

Atraumatic insertions of electrode arrays (EA) into the cochlea aim to preserve natural structures and residual hearing. However, there is a limit as to how smooth and slow a surgeon can insert an EA. As a potential solution, we recently presented a tool (cochlea hydro drive, CHD) that makes use of...
