Abstract:

Ossification of the fluid spaces of the cochlea occurs often in candidates for cochlear implantation, especially children. When noted before surgery on computerized tomography, ossification previously was thought to contraindicate cochlear implantation because of possible mechanical obstruction and uncertainty about the level of function that could be achieved by stimulating an ossified cochlea. However, during the preceding 6 years, techniques have been developed that permit implantation in ossified cochleas. We present a systematic approach that has been developed to treat the three clinical

Abstract:

Over the past few decades, cochlear implants have undergone significant changes due to intensive research through experimental and computational analysis. However, obtaining an accurate and reliable cochlear model remains an open issue. Invasive measurements on the human ear are hardly possible, and the only alternative is animal models, but even this is not an ideal option, as animal cochleae are anatomically significantly different from the human cochleae. In this context, an ear model based on the latest knowledge of the physiology and molecular principles of hearing will allow the study of

Abstract:

TRPC channels are critical players in cochlear hair cells and sensory neurons, as demonstrated in animal experiments. However, evidence for TRPC expression in the human cochlea is still lacking. This reflects the logistic and practical difficulties in obtaining human cochleae. The purpose of this study was to detect TRPC6, TRPC5 and TRPC3 in the human cochlea. Temporal bone pairs were excised from ten body donors, and the inner ear was first assessed based on computed tomography scans. Decalcification was then performed using 20% EDTA solutions.

In 2008, Hahn et al. presented a method for cultivating a 3D organ culture of the cochlea. Although this method is well established, it is currently only applied to early postnatal animals. Given the known differences in regeneration and repair abilities between early postnatal and adult mammalian cochleae, our goal was to further develop and optimize this method to extend it beyond early postnatal animals to include adult mammalian cochleae. After rapidly dissecting the cochlea, it is opened and placed in a neurotrophin-containing culture medium. The culture is then maintained at 32 °C in a r

The active and nonlinear mechanical processing of sound that takes place in the mammalian cochlea is fundamental to our sense of hearing. We have investigated the effects of opening the cochlea in order to make experimental observations of this processing. Using an optically transparent window that permits laser interferometric access to the apical turn of the guinea-pig cochlea, we show that the acousto-mechanical transfer functions of the sealed (i.e. near intact) cochlea are considerably simpler than those of the unsealed cochlea. Comparison of our results with those of others suggests that

Abstract:

In mammals, environmental sounds stimulate the auditory receptor, the cochlea, via vibrations of the stapes, the innermost of the middle ear ossicles. These vibrations produce displacement waves that travel on the elongated and spirally wound basilar membrane (BM). As they travel, waves grow in amplitude, reaching a maximum and then dying out. The location of maximum BM motion is a function of stimulus frequency, with high-frequency waves being localized to the “base” of the cochlea (near the stapes) and low-frequency waves approaching the “apex” of the cochlea.

Combining aminoglycosides and loop diuretics often serves as an effective ototoxic approach to deafen experimental animals.

Multichannel cochlear implants are a proven method for the auditory rehabilitation of individuals who have severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. These devices typically require insertion into the scala tympani of the cochlea to provide auditory stimulations. A patent scala provides the best chance for an adequate insertion of the electrode array. Preoperative high-resolution computed tomography imaging has traditionally been used to determine the patency of the scala tympani.

Abstract:

The cochlea plays a crucial role in mammal hearing. The basic function of the cochlea is to map sounds of different frequencies onto corresponding characteristic positions on the basilar membrane (BM). Sounds enter the fluid-filled cochlea and cause deflection of the BM due to pressure differences between the cochlear fluid chambers. These deflections travel along the cochlea, increasing in amplitude, until a frequency-dependent characteristic position and then decay away rapidly. The hair cells can detect these deflections and encode them as neural signals. Modelling the mechanics of the coch

Abstract:

Cochlear implantation is a high-tech method of rehabilitation of patients with progressive hearing loss, up to deafness. Ossification of the cochlear spiral canal is no longer considered a surgical contraindication for cochlear implantation (CI). However, performing the surgical stage of CI in patients with ossification of the cochlea spiral canal may be accompanied by a number of difficulties. The advanced process of ossification and remodeling can lead to significant difficulty in inserting the electrode into the cochlea, leading to the risk of incomplete insertion.

Abstract:

Novel therapeutic delivery systems and delivery methods to the inner ear are necessary to treat hearing loss and inner ear disorders. However, numerous barriers exist to therapeutic delivery into the bone-encased and immune-privileged environment of the inner ear and cochlea, which makes treating inner ear disorders challenging. Nanoparticles (NPs) are a type of therapeutic delivery system that can be engineered for multiple purposes, and posterior semicircular canal (PSCC) infusion is a method to directly deposit them into the cochlea. We sought to assess PSCC infusion of gold NPs into the co

Abstract:

Cochlear implantation may cause a detrimental effect on vestibular function and residual hearing. A significant number of patients with a cochlear implant present with vertigo. There are several mechanisms for dizziness following cochlear implantations. The causes may be surgical trauma, disruption of normal cochlear physiology, or ensuing endolymphatic hydrops. Vibratory trauma affecting the cochlea during cochleostomy plays a vital role in causing paroxysmal vertigo in patients with a cochlear implant. In addition, the vibrations affecting the cochlea are enough to dislodge otoconia particle

Abstract:

Hearing impairment is the most common sensory deficit, affecting more than 400 million people worldwide. Sensorineural hearing losses currently lack any specific or efficient pharmacotherapy largely due to the insufficient knowledge of the pathomechanism. Purinergic signaling plays a substantial role in cochlear (patho)physiology. P2 (ionotropic P2X and the metabotropic P2Y) as well as adenosine receptors expressed on cochlear sensory and non-sensory cells are involved mostly in protective mechanisms of the cochlea. They are implicated in the sensitivity adjustment of the receptor cells by a K

Prestin is the motor protein expressed in the cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) of mammalian inner ear. The electromotility of OHCs driven by prestin is responsible for the cochlear amplification which is required for normal hearing in adult animals. Postnatal expression of prestin and activity of OHCs may contribute to the maturation of hearing in rodents. However, the temporal and spatial expression of prestin in cochlea during the development is not well characterized. In the present study, we examined the expression and function of prestin from the OHCs in apical, middle, and basal turns of

The cochlear neuromodulator provides substantial auditory perception to those with impaired hearing. The accurate insertion of electrodes into the cochlea is an important factor, as misplaced may lead to further damage. The impedance measurement may be used as a marker of the electrode insertion guidance. It is feasible to investigate the impact of the dielectric properties of the cochlea tissue layers on the electrode insertion guidance using sophisticated bio-computational methods that are impractical or impossible to perform in cochlear implant (CI) patients.

Late-onset non-syndromic autosomal dominant hearing loss 9 (DFNA9) is a hearing impairment caused by mutations in the coagulation factor C homology gene (COCH). COCH encodes for cochlin, a major component of the cochlear extracellular matrix. Though biochemical and genetic studies have characterized the properties of wild-type and mutated cochlins derived from DFNA9, little is known about the underlying pathogenic mechanism. In this study, we established a cochlin reporter cell, which allowed us to monitor the interaction of cochlin with its ligand(s) by means of a β-galactosidase assay. We fo
