CiliaBuilder: A Hair Prosthetic For Your Ears
Future Benefits
CiliaBuilder will provide a simple solution for many people with moderate hearing loss caused by damage to the stereocilia.
Breakthroughs that would
turn our idea into a reality:
1. Identify protein binding sites
2. Determine material of structural body
3. Further research injection procedure
Low Risk
The procedure will entail less risk than the potentially dangerous surgery required for a cochlear implant.
No External Hardware
Unlike a hearing aid or cochlear implant, CiliaBuilder will not require any permanent external hardware.
Cochlear implants require external hardware that many patients are not comfortable wearing.
