Abstract:
To account for the anatomical variability of the round window, and its surrounding bony structure, and ensure the safety of the delicate round window membrane (RWM) and structures in the cochlea closely adjacent to the RWM, the disclosure provides devices and methods that safely and effectively couple the motion of a variety of actuators to the RWM.
