Cochlea implant technology is set for a revolution using a new method of detecting sound.
If all goes to plan, the design will change and hearing will be of a higher quality.
Working on the device is PhD candidate at the University of Canterbury, Tom Maslin.
His work has made him a finalist in the KiwiNet Research Commercialisation Awards 2021, competing for the Momentum Student Entrepreneur prize. He talks to Jesse about his work.
