A Fully-Implantable Cochlear Implant SoC with Piezoelectric Middle-Ear
In order to investigate the performance of the middle-ear mounted piezoelectric sensor, human cadaveric temporal bones were provided by the Eaton-Peabody Laboratory at the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary (Boston, MA), and PZT-5A piezoceramic material (Piezo Systems Inc., Woburn, MA) was used.
