The Potential of Cochlear Implants

Cochlear implants (CIs) restore hearing to deaf people by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve (AN).

This meeting will focus on the limitations and successes of CIs and on new methods for improving them. Topics include new methods of stimulating the AN, measuring AN survival so as to aid patient-specific processing, understanding the brain changes that occur when hearing is restored by a CI, and how to best combine CI stimulation with residual acoustic hearing. 

Together with our colleagues from the University of Helsinki, we will be present at this prestigious event of the Royal Society. in Nottingham (UK) in June.
