It requires implantable μLED hardware and optogenetically responsive cochlear neurons. The supplied review payload does not provide surgical, power, or packaging details.; requires optogenetically sensitized target neurons; requires implantable μLED hardware; It requires implantable μLED hardware and an optogenetically sensitized cochlear target. The review payload here does not provide finer protocol details.; requires μLED implant hardware integrated with an optogenetic cochlear stimulation strategy
The provided evidence does not establish long-term safety, durability, or full hearing-restoration performance. Those details are not directly supported by the anchor review text supplied here.; support comes from adjacent source summary rather than quoted text from the anchor review; The supplied evidence does not show that the review establishes mature clinical deployment or resolves all translational constraints.; the supplied anchor-review payload does not provide direct abstract-level detail on hardware performance
