Variants in USP48 encoding ubiquitin hydrolase are associated with autosomal dominant non-syndromic hereditary hearing loss

Non-Syndromic Hereditary Hearing Loss (NSHHL) is a genetically heterogeneous sensory disorder with about 120 genes already associated. Through exome sequencing (ES) and data aggregation, we identified a family with six affected individuals and one unrelate ...

Inner ear cellular imaging through scattering bone

Demetri Psaltis, Marilisa Romito

Inner ear imaging is important for the assessment of hearing disorders. A major cause of hearing loss is the damage to the sensory hair cells, which are located inside the cochlea, a spiral-shaped bone in the inner ear. Imaging of intracochear hair cells i ...

Biomedical optical techniques for intracochlear cellular imaging

Marilisa Romito

Imaging the inner ear microanatomy is of great importance for the assessment of the state of the cells responsible for sound detection. Hearing disorders are mainly due to a malfunction of the cochlea, the bone containing the cells inside the inner ear. Un ...

Imaging hair cells through laser-ablated cochlear bone

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Marilisa Romito

We report an innovative technique for the visualization of cells through an overlying scattering medium by combining femtosecond laser bone ablation and two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) microscopy. We demonstrate the technique by imaging hair cell ...

Auditory Brainstem Implants: Recent Progress and Future Perspectives

Stéphanie Lacour, Nicolas Vachicouras

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) was first developed nearly 40 years ago and provides auditory rehabilitation to patients who are deaf and ineligible for cochlear implant surgery due to abnormalities of the cochlea and cochlear nerve. The aims of the f ...

Selective femtosecond laser ablation via two-photon fluorescence imaging through a multimode fiber

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Eirini Kakkava, Donald Benjaman Conkey, Marilisa Romito

We demonstrate the ability of a multimode fiber probe to provide two-photon fluorescence (TPF) imaging feedback that guides the femtosecond laser ablation (FLA) in biological samples for highly selective modifications. We implement the system through the p ...

Circadian Regulation of Cochlear Sensitivity to Noise by Circulating Glucocorticoids

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger

The cochlea possesses a robust circadian clock machinery that regulates auditory function. How the cochlear clock is influenced by the circadian system remains unknown. Here, we show that cochlear rhythms are system driven and require local Bmal1 as well a ...

Ultra-Low-Power Intelligent Acoustic Sensing using Cochlea-Inspired Feature Extraction and DNN Classification

Christian Enz, Minhao Yang

We present our recent progress in ultra-low-power intelligent acoustic sensing that harnesses the high power and energy efficiency of cochlea-like analog feature extraction and binarized neural network classification. Compared with conventional methods inc ...

Two-photon imaging and selective laser ablation of Cochlea hair cells through a multimode fiber probe

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Eirini Kakkava, Marilisa Romito

We demonstrate multimode fiber probe that accomodates dual modality properties for high power ultrashort pulse delivery. A commercially available multimode graded-index (GRIN) fiber is used for two-photon imaging and/or femtosecond laser ablation of Cochle ...

Bulged Eardrum Detection From 3D Data

Pascal Frossard, Ivana Tosic, Sofia Karygianni

Bulging is a medical characteristic of the eardrum that is crucial for the diagnosis of acute otitis media. This work proposes a novel classification method for distinguishing bulged eardrums from non-bulged ones. The method uses novel key features extract ...
