Germany Developed A New Miniature LED Artificial Hearing Aid Technology

Recently, the German Institute for Microsystems Technology University of Freiburg , Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics Professor Ulrich led the research team developed a Lee LED mini implants to stimulate nerve cells in the cochlea help hearing-impaired people to restore and improve new technologies hearing .

Professor Ulrich led the research team 's commitment to " listen " project aims to study produced by Micro Linear LED light to stimulate alternative to traditional patterns of electrical stimulation to help hearing-impaired patients with hearing problems to solve new technologies to improve the model . This new technology model will effectively improve the user rhythm of language , music and background noise level of dialogue and comprehension . The results showed that the inner ear can be a good light-sensitive nerve cells react to light stimuli , and ENT Hospital, University of Göttingen cochlear implantation in mice experiments have been successful .

University of Freiburg Institute for Microsystems Technology , Fraunhofer Institute for applied physics researchers Solid jointly developed within the cochlea can be flexibly integrated micro- LED and probe sensing devices . Effective means by which to increase the number of channels to stimulate the outside sound , and to improve one to two orders of magnitude audio resolution . University of Freiburg , Institute of Microsystem Technology provides a flexible polymer engineering and biocompatible materials for the device . Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics , compared with the device provides a GaN micro- LED, the LED micro only 0.01 mm2 area of ​​only a few microns thickness . They face a common challenge for the future is how the polymer engineering materials and GaN LED integration.

It is understood that the basic research part of the " listen " research project by the German Federal Department of Research " Frontiers of Science Research Initiative " of € 300,000 funding support.
