Cochlear impants set to perform better due to neural insights
Better cochlear implants would be good for many with hearing difficulties, and a team at Rutgers University says it may just have the thing after some serious research was released this past week.Cochlear implants, which are surgically added into the cochlea area in deaf people to allow them to hear full or partial sounds, were improved by the Rutgers team. They used more of a increase in sensor system in order to try and carry auditory messages as far into the brain as possible compared with the limited range of current devices.
Lead researcher Robin Davis said "The significance of our work lies in the fact that we can change an element in a very peripheral part of the sensory system that can have an impact all the way into the brain."
