Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung reports on hearing research in Göttingen:
A new dimension of hearing for those who are deaf or extremely hard of hearing. A large research network in Göttingen around MBExC member Tobias Moser is developing a high-tech hearing aid that uses light and genetic engineering to enable hearing. Patient studies with the new cochlear implant are being prepared.
In the cochlea of the inner ear, sound waves are detected in a frequency-specific manner and subsequently transmitted to the brain. Image @ Christian Vogl, Carlos Duque Afonso, Tobias Moser, Institute for Auditory Neuroscience, UMG.
