Robotic cochlear implantation in post-meningitis ossified cochlea.

American journal of otolaryngology
AIM: To report the experience of an image-guided and navigation-based robot arm as an assistive surgical tool for cochlear implantation in a case with a labyrinthitis ossificans.

Robot-assisted cochlear implant surgery in a patient with partial ossification of the basal cochlear turn: A technical note.

Clinical otolaryngology : official journal of ENT-UK ; official journal of Netherlands Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology & Cervico-Facial Surgery

Robotics, automation, active electrode arrays, and new devices for cochlear implantation: A contemporary review.

Hearing research
In the last two decades, cochlear implant surgery has evolved into a minimally invasive, hearing preservation surgical technique. The devices used during surgery have benefited from technological advances that have allowed modification and possible i...

3D printed biomimetic cochleae and machine learning co-modelling provides clinical informatics for cochlear implant patients.

Nature communications
Cochlear implants restore hearing in patients with severe to profound deafness by delivering electrical stimuli inside the cochlea. Understanding stimulus current spread, and how it correlates to patient-dependent factors, is hampered by the poor acc...

Unifying information theory and machine learning in a model of electrode discrimination in cochlear implants.

PloS one
Despite the development and success of cochlear implants over several decades, wide inter-subject variability in speech perception is reported. This suggests that cochlear implant user-dependent factors limit speech perception at the individual level...

Atraumatic Insertion of a Cochlear Implant Pre-Curved Electrode Array by a Robot-Automated Alignment with the Coiling Direction of the Scala Tympani.

Audiology & neuro-otology
INTRODUCTION: Electrode array translocation is an unpredictable event with all types of arrays, even using a teleoperated robot in a clinical scenario. We aimed to compare the intracochlear trauma produced by the HiFocus™ Mid-Scala (MS) electrode arr...

Speech signal enhancement in cocktail party scenarios by deep learning based virtual sensing of head-mounted microphones.

Hearing research
The cocktail party effect refers to the human sense of hearing's ability to pay attention to a single conversation while filtering out all other background noise. To mimic this human hearing ability for people with hearing loss, scientists integrate ...

The Use of a Robot to Insert an Electrode Array of Cochlear Implants in the Cochlea: A Feasibility Study and Preliminary Results.

Audiology & neuro-otology
INTRODUCTION: Cochlear implants (CIs) are commonly used for the rehabilitation of profound bilateral hearing loss. However, patients with substantial residual acoustic hearing are potential CI candidates. Because of both improvements in technology an...

Machine learning for pattern detection in cochlear implant FDA adverse event reports.

Cochlear implants international
Medical device performance and safety databases can be analyzed for patterns and novel opportunities for improving patient safety and/or device design. The objective of this analysis was to use supervised machine learning to explore patterns in rep...

Cochlear implant telemedicine: Remote fitting based on psychoacoustic self-tests and artificial intelligence.

Cochlear implants international
This study aims to assess the feasibility of autonomous cochlear implant (CI) fitting by adult CI recipients based on psychoacoustic self-testing and artificial intelligence (AI). A feasibility study was performed on six adult CI recipients implant...
