Microstructured thin-film electrode technology enables proof of concept of scalable, soft auditory brainstem implants

Stéphanie Lacour, Nicolas Vachicouras, Florian Dylan Fallegger, Christina Myra Tringides, Jennifer Mary Adrienne Alice Macron, Valentina Marie Paggi, Yohann Daniel André Thenaisie

Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) provide sound awareness to deaf individuals who are not candidates for the cochlear implant. The ABI electrode array rests on the surface of the cochlear nucleus (CN) in the brainstem and delivers multichannel electrical ...

Photoinitiator-free multi-photon fabrication of compact optical waveguides in polydimethylsiloxane

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Giulia Panusa, Ye Pu, Jieping Wang

Compact, low loss flexible optical waveguides are crucial in optofluidic and microfluidic devices for a dense integration of optical functionalities. We demonstrate the fabrication of compact optical waveguides in polydimethylsiloxane through multiphoton l ...

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Who’s Got the Clearest Image of Them All?—A Tailored Approach to Single Image Reflection Removal

Sabine Süsstrunk, Georg Maierhofer

Removing reflection artefacts from a single image is a problem of both theoretical and practical interest, which still presents challenges because of the massively ill-posed nature of the problem. In this paper, we propose a technique based on a novel opti ...

Subjective evaluation of a spatialization feature for hearing aids by normal-hearing and hearing-impaired subjects

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Gigandet, Gilles André Courtois

Remote microphone systems significantly improve speech intelligibly performance offered by hearing aids. The voice of the speaker(s) is captured close to the mouth by a microphone, then wirelessly sent to the hearing aids. However, the sound is rendered in ...

Effects of Binaural Spatialization in Wireless Microphone Systems for Hearing Aids on Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Listeners

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Gigandet, Gilles André Courtois

Little is known about the perception of artificial spatial hearing by hearing-impaired subjects. The purpose of this study was to investigate how listeners with hearing disorders perceived the effect of a spatialization feature designed for wireless microp ...
