PODCAST: Preserving Hearing in Cochlear Implantation

Marcus Schmidt discusses with Prof. Stefan Weder (ENT Clinic Inselspital) and Dr. Ilona Anderson how a flexible electrode array design and advanced surgical tools, such as OTOPLAN and OTODRIVE, are helping surgeons achieve more precise outcomes while supporting residual hearing preservation by protecting the delicate structures in the cochlea.
