Next-Gen Hearing Implants Could Overcome Inner Ear Damage

• Next-gen hearing implants could overcome inner ear damage
  
• EPFL is developing next-generation soft hearing implants

Working with clinicians from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School, a team of EPFL researchers has developed a conformable electrode implant that will allow people with a dysfunctional inner ear to hear again. This new device could replace existing auditory brainstem implants, which have a number of shortcomings.​

Very cool. Always good to see more science coming down the pipe.
