Toward a cochlear implant electrode array with shape memory effect for post‐insertion perimodiolar positioning Open
For cochlear implants (CI) a final position of the electrode array (EA) along the inner wall of the spirally shaped cochlea is considered to be beneficial because it results in a closer proximity to the auditory nerve fibers. A shape memor…

Toward a controlled intra-cochlear positioning change of an electrode array using a stepwise-activated shape memory effect Open
An electrode array (EA) of the cochlear implant (CI) with a perimodiolar positioning is assumed to be beneficial for stimulating the auditory nerve. To enable an intracochlear shape change from a straight to a spiral configuration, a therm…

A method to determine the accuracy of shape setting thin, spirally shaped Nitinol wires Open
Electric stimulation of the auditory nerve using a cochlear implant (CI) is presumed to be superior when the electrode array (EA) is placed close to the inner wall of the cochlea. Nitinol is investigated as an actuator that enables an intr…
