CIM 5000 Biomedical Aspects of Cochlear Implantation 1.5 Credit
Cochlear implants, one of the most significant advances in restoring hearing for persons with severe to profound hearing loss, lie at the intersection of hearing science, medicine, engineering, health policy and patient care. This course explores the biomedical foundations that underpin successful implantation and outcomes, integrating anatomy and physiology with advanced imaging and visualization approaches. Students will examine medical, surgical and audiological considerations, as well as the changes to the auditory system resulting from cochlear implantation. Emphasis is placed on factors influencing patient candidacy and performance, fostering translational insight to inform research innovation and evidence-based clinical practice.
