A method to determine the accuracy of shape setting thin, spirally shaped Nitinol wires
Electric stimulation of the auditory nerve using a cochlear implant (CI) is presumed to be superior when the electrode array (EA) is placed close to the inner wall of the cochlea. Nitinol is investigated as an actuator that enables an intracochlear shape change of the EA from a straight configuratio...
