About
Elisabeth Mamelle is a leading researcher in auditory neuroscience and cochlear implant technology, with a primary focus on optimizing electrode array design to preserve residual hearing during implantation. Her most-cited work, "Influence of electrode array stiffness and diameter on hearing in cochlear implanted guinea pig" (2017, 25 citations), systematically investigates how physical parameters of electrode arrays—such as stiffness and diameter—affect cochlear trauma and hearing outcomes. By demonstrating that softer, smaller-diameter arrays reduce translocation and structural damage, Mamelle has provided critical insights for developing less invasive cochlear implants that better protect natural hearing. Her research bridges bioengineering and clinical otology, offering evidence-based guidelines for implant manufacturers and surgeons. Beyond this landmark study, Mamelle has contributed to advancing animal models for hearing preservation and exploring novel biomaterials for electrode coatings. Her work is widely cited by engineers and clinicians seeking to improve cochlear implant safety and efficacy, making her a key figure in the push toward more atraumatic auditory prostheses.
