The optical cochlear implant (oCI) aims to restore hearing in profoundly deaf patients by using light to stimulate the auditory nerve. This innovative approach combines gene therapy with micro-scale light emitters to replace damaged hair cells.
The optical cochlear implant (oCI) aims to restore near natural hearing in profoundly hearing impaired and deaf patients.
Sound perception will be restored through an implantable medical device in combination with a gene therapy medicinal product.
Thereby the auditory nerve is stimulated directly through focused light replacing the dysfunctional or absent hair cells.
This is achieved through combination of micro-scale light emitter technology and precise neural control through expression of ligh…
