While most people are familiar with the technology behind cochlear implants, few know about the surgical technology that makes it all possible. Cochlear implant surgeries require a high level of precision that is difficult to achieve consistently. More importantly, greater technology can ultimately improve the hearing experience of the patient.

Dr. Marlan Hansen has spent nearly two decades in research and clinical practice in neurotology. He has worked directly with iotaMotion to push the technology of cochlear surgeries forward. Now you can learn what is on the cutting edge. In this episode of the ListenUp! Podcast, Dr. Mark Syms talks with Dr. Marlan Hansen, a professor of otolaryngology at The University of Iowa, about the technology behind cochlear surgeries and how they are improving. They discuss the work iotaMotion is doing, why the new technology is so important, and how it helps both patients and clinicians. Lastly, they touch on the different disciplines that go into these important advancements.
