Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the immune response and fibrosis in cochlear implants affecting stimulation effectiveness.
  • Examined the immune response post-implantation of cochlear implants.
  • Monitored cell layer formation in the cochlea over time.
  • Analyzed the impact of fibrosis on stimulation levels.
  • Identified significant cell layer formation (fibrosis) following CI implantation.
  • Noted a correlation between fibrosis and reduced stimulation efficiency.
  • Demonstrated the necessity for long-term monitoring of cochlear implants.

Abstract

Cochlear implants (CIs) have proven to be highly effective neural prostheses, widely used to restore hearing in individuals with sensorineural hearing loss. However, following implantation, CIs can trigger an immune response that leads to cell layer formation (fibrosis) in the cochlea causing low stimulation for full text, please go to the a.m. URL
