Dear Sir or Madam actually we would like to give you first impressions of this year's Jung Nacht in this newsletter. But SARS-CoV-2 is still keeping the world in suspense and we have moved the award ceremony to 2021. Nevertheless, the current situation shows that medical research is essential. Therefore, we would like to present you the good news of our foundation in this newsletter.

IMPRESSIVE: OPTICAL COCHLEAR IMPLANTProfessor Tobias Moser, Ernst Jung awardee 2017, and his research team succeeded in combining gene therapy in the cochlear with light stimulation from a multichannel optical cochlear implant for the first time. This could result in a fundamental improvement in hearing with an optical cochlear implant in the future, as light can be better narrowed down spatially compared to electricity, thus enabling a more precise stimulation of the auditory nerve. Find more information here.You can find a contribution on the topic "Miracles of hearing" here. |
