More particularly, the present invention relates to a fully implantable cochlear implant system (FICIS) that allows profoundly dea...
a Schematic representation of an in vivo experimental setup for the full-custom fully implantable cochlear implant system. where the intracochlear electrodes were surgically placed to the cochlea of the animal model. The piezoelectric sensor was mounted on a parylene membrane, which is placed on a ...
Cochlear implantsSystem-on-chipGain controlThis paper presents an ultralow power interface circuit for a fully implantable cochlear implant (FICI) system that stimulates the auditory nerves inside cochlea. The input sound is detected with a multifrequency piezoelectric (PZT) sensor array, is signa...

The exemplary cochlear implant system further includes an implantable module configured to be implanted within the patient, the implantable module having an internal microphone configured to detect the acoustically transmitted audio signal, an internal sound processor configured to generate one or more ...
Cochlear implant systems can include a cochlear electrode, a stimulator in electrical communication with the cochlear electrode, and a signal processor in communication with the stimulator. The signal processor can receive an input signal from an input source and output a stimulation signal to the ...
