All-Optical Cochlear Implants
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
In the present work, we introduce a novel cochlear implant (CI) architecture, namely all-optical CI (AOCI), which directly converts acoustic to optical signals capable of stimulating the cochlear neurons ...
Next, we present a comprehensive system model that incorporates the technical characteristics and constraints of each BB, the transdermal-optical-channel particularities, i.e. optical path-loss and external-implanted ...
It should be highlighted that, modern conventional cochlear implants house up to 22 electrodes. ...

2013
PLoS ONE
Spiral ganglion neuron counts and post implantation tissue growth, which was localized at the optical fiber, were similar in chronically stimulated and sham implanted cochleae. ...
We examined a population of cats that were chronically implanted with an optical fiber to stimulate the cochlea with infrared radiation, the first known chronic application of INS. ...

Auditory-visual speech perception in normal-hearing and cochlear-implant listeners
2008

The implant users were able to integrate both congruent and incongruent acoustic and optical cues to derive relatively weak but significant auditory-visual integration. ...
Compared with the actual implant performance, acoustic simulations of the cochlear implant could predict the auditory-only performance but not the auditory-visual integration. ...
All cochlear-implant listeners were native English speakers and were postlingually deafened. All cochlear-implant listeners reported normal or corrected-to-normal vision. 1

Hearing Restoration through Optical Wireless Cochlear Implants
[chapter]
2022
Human Auditory System - Function and Disorders [Working Title]
In this chapter, we present two novel optical wireless-based cochlear implant architectures: (i) optical wireless cochlear implant (OWCI) and (ii) all-optical cochlear implant (AOCI). ...
Our findings reveal that both the OWCI and the AOCI outperform conventional cochlear implant approaches; thus, they are identified as promising architectures for the next generation of cochlear implants ...
Moreover, the superiority of optical over electrical cell stimulation must be validated in order to justify the research effort toward the all-optical cochlear implant (AOCI) [17] . ...

Optical coherence tomography as a guide for cochlear implant surgery? ...
To assess the potential use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in cochlear implant surgery, OCT was applied in human temporal bones before cochleostomy. ...
The optical imaging technique can be applied in contact as well as in a non-contact mode. At the Institute for Biomedical Optics in Lübeck, a variety of applicators have recently been developed. ...

Seminars in Hearing
Cochlear implants constitute an effective rehabilitative tool able to restore speech perception in many patients with genetic AN, especially those affected by the isolated form of the disorder. ...
It can be concluded that differences in cochlear implant outcome or hearing aid use in patients with AN are related to the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying alteration of auditory nerve discharge ...

Mutation of OPA1 gene causes deafness by affecting function of auditory nerve terminals
2009
Brain Research
We investigated cochlear abnormalities accompanying the hearing loss and the effects of cochlear implantation. ...
We sequenced OPA1 gene and recorded cochlear receptor and neural potentials before cochlear implantation. Genetic analysis identified R445H mutation in OPA1 gene. ...
Since hearing loss may not be R445Hspecific, it is warranted to test clinical and subclinical sign of the hearing loss for the individuals with all patients with optic atrophy and OPA1 mutations. ...
