Investigator initiated research clinical projects
We have collaboration with the three largest companies of cochlear implant technology: Advanced Bionics, Cochlear, Med-EL. Some of the projects are investigator initiated projects with external funding. The investigator initiated research clinical projects are within the areas of 1) Hearing preservation and electrocochlegraphy, and 2) Cochlear implant electrode position with intraop measurements and real-time X-ray imaging. Ongoing projects:
- Electrocochleography and Fluoroscopy using Advanced Bionics cochlear implants, Torquil Macdonald Sørensen
- Intra-operativ Trauma Detection with help of Electrocochleography an Fluoroscopy video, Ralf Greisiger primary investigator
- Effect of proximity for the Cochlear CI532 Slim Mod elect array in terms of ECAP and programming levels, Ralf Greisiger primary investigator
Robotic Cochlear implantation
Robotic Cochler implantation study on cadavers (research and innovation projects) in cooperation with Cascination AG and Medel GmbH. The project started in 2018 with one cadaver study, and will continue in 2022.
