Additive manufacturing of flexible, biodegradable drug implants for sustained multi-drug release into the cochlea

Sensorineural hearing loss is a profound form of deafness, arising from damage to cochlear hair cells, which can be treated by limited clinical options such as cochlear implants. However, the implantation procedure carries the inherent risk of electrode in ...
