Detection of cell layer formation in cochlear implants indicates long-term stimulation efficiency concerns.
Cochlear implants (CIs) have proven to be highly effective neural prostheses, widely used to restore hearing in individuals with sensorineural hearing loss. However, following implantation, CIs can trigger an immune response that leads to cell layer formation (fibrosis) in the cochlea causing low stimulation [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
