Special Issue Information
Cochlear implantation and middle ear prosthetic technologies have been developed during the last 20 years and have been implemented in numerous clinical settings around the world. Nevertheless, as technology progresses, more questions arise about the quality of the technological intervention strategies, about the efficiency and critical timing of programmed intervention (hearing aids, cochlear implants), and about the costs of traditional and alternative intervention policies.
The objective of this Special Issue is to share with the scientific community the latest trends in the cochlear implants field and related technological advances. We invite authors to send papers describing recent developments in (but not limited to) the following potential topics:
- Ear Implantable Devices
- Middle ear
-
- Piezoelectric (i.e., envoy);
- Electromagnetic (vibrant soundbridge; otologics carina);
- Bone conduction implants, percutaneous vs. transcutaneous (i.e BAHA, Oticon Ponto);
- Inner ear
- Cochlear implants;
- Cochlear implants with intracochlear drug delivery;
- Cochlear implants in inner ear malformations;
- Cochlear implants in the single side deafness;
- Cochlear implants and vestibular function;
- Hybrid cochlear implants;
- Factors which could affect hearing preservation in cochlear implants;
- Ecog in cochlear implantation;
- Cochlear implantation after radical modified surgery.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
