  • Patient-specific individualization of an electrode array for a cochlear implant
    Patent number: 12725685
    Abstract: The present invention aims at providing a cochlear implant, in particular an electrode array of a cochlear implant, adapted to the specific requirements of a given patient in an improved manner, possibly taking into account the specific cochlea anatomy and hearing assistance needs of each individual patient. A first aspect of the invention refers to a method for determining a geometry, in particular a patient-specific geometry, of an electrode array for a cochlear implant for a patient. The method comprises computing a predicted arrangement of the electrode array within the cochlea of the patient based on: i) patient-specific data about the geometry of the cochlea of the patient and/or of a part thereof, and ii) a predefined geometric relation between the geometry of the cochlea of the patient (or of a part thereof) and the predicted arrangement of the electrode array when received within the cochlea of the patient.
