NeuEar Project to develop a neurotrophic cochlear implant for profoundly deaf patients (via CORDIS)

The NeuEar concept (www.neuear.eu) is to develop an encapsulated cell (EC) therapy device capable of long-term intracochlear neurotrophin production in combination with a cochlear implant (CI) electrode to improve the clinical benefits by rescuing primary ANs from degeneration and promoting the neuron-electrode interface. The whole project partnership convened for its 2015 meeting in Innsbruck, Austria to review progress and strategies in the development of the novel device.
