Deep learning model quantifies cochlear implant fibrosis

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel deep learning model, termed 2D-OCT-UNET, to quantify fibrosis within cochlear implants. This model, based on a modified U-Net architecture, analyzes optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to identify and measure fibrotic tissue, which can impede hearing function. The study successfully applied computer vision techniques to OCT data from implanted guinea pigs, demonstrating reliable calculation of cochlear fibrotic burden and offering a new tool for improving outcomes for cochlear implant patients.

    Towards Investigating Residual Hearing Loss: Quantification of Fibrosis in a Novel Cochlear OCT Dataset

    arXiv:2608.21189v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Objective: Cochlear implants (CIs) are bionic prostheses that restores hearing via electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Hybrid CIs, which use electroacoustic stimulation (EAS), combine residual low-frequency acoustic hear…
