ABOUT US
The use of hearing implants including cochlear implants and middle ear implants is growing rapidly due to the associated benefits in terms of improved hearing. The development of new devices supported by basic research as well as clinical trials is essential for further progress in this field.
For this purpose, we established the "Department of Hearing Implants Sciences" in Shinshu University in 2010. Shinshu University is one of the finest research centers for the genetic diagnosis of deafness in the world, and is a major repository of knowledge, advanced technology, and research experience.
