Investigation of auditory neuronal survival and outgrowth using a cochlear implant in an artificial cochlear model

Cochlear implants (CI) can restore hearing to people suffering from sensorineural hearing loss. The CI uses an array of electrodes inserted in the scala tympani to stimulate the spiral ganglion neurons (SGN), which are located in the bony axis of the inner ear. The spatial distance between the elect...
