Direct Acoustic Stimulation at the Lateral Canal: An Alternative Route to the Inner Ear?
Severe to profound mixed hearing loss is associated with hearing rehabilitation difficulties. Recently, promising results for speech understanding were obtained with a direct acoustic cochlear implant (DACI). The surgical implantation of a DACI with standard coupling through a stapedotomy can however be regarded as challenging. Therefore, in this experimental study, the feasibility of direct ac...
متن کاملAn alternative 3D numerical method to study the biomechanical behaviour of the human inner ear semicircular canal.
PURPOSE The vestibular system is the part of the inner ear responsible for balance. Vertigo and dizziness are generally caused by vestibular disorders and are very common symptoms in people over 60 years old. One of the most efficient treatments at the moment is vestibular rehabilitation, permitting to improve the symptoms. However, this rehabilitation therapy is a highly empirical process, whi...
متن کاملProtecting the Inner Ear from Acoustic Trauma.
Calcium activated proteases, or calpains, play an important role in neurodegeneration. In some cases, neural degeneration can be significantly reduced by leupeptin, a potent calpain inhibitor. To determine if leupeptin could protect against noise-induced hearing loss and hair cell loss, we infused leupeptin into scala tympani of one cochlea before, during and after a 14-day exposure to a 100 dB...
متن کاملMeasurements of acoustic impedance at the input to the occluded ear canal.
Multi-frequency (multi-component) acoustic impedance measurements may evolve into a sensitive technique for the remote detection of aural pathologies. Such data are also relevant to models used in hearing aid design and could be an asset to the hearing aid prescription and fitting process. This report describes the development and use of a broad-band procedure which acquires impedance data in 2...
