Thedrill is currently only being used for cochlear implants , but thepotentials for wider surgery applications in the future are extensive . simply put , it will revolutionise this type of micro - surgery 该钻头目前仅被用于耳蜗植入，但在将来他有着广泛的外科应用拓展潜力。仅就此一点，它将给这类显微外科手术带来革命。
The drill isapplied to the cochlea , the inner ear hearing organ , is aligned to thecorrect place and then drills a hole less than a millimetre in diameterto enable the cochlear implant to be inserted 该钻头适用于内耳听觉器官耳蜗，它准确对齐到正确的部位，接着在该部位钻一个直径小于一毫米的洞使得耳蜗植入电极可以由此插入。
Its already well developed tradition of serving people with hearing disabilities will continue . in particular , it will extend its thoroughgoing cochlear implant programme , where hearing is restored by enabling the auditory nerve to receive electrical stimuli 耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学系亦将秉承服务听障人士的传统，尤其会加强发展人工耳蜗技术，病人可以透过电极来刺激听神经细胞，重拾听力。
Among those revealed at the genetic and evolutionary computation conference held in london this summer were long - life usb memory sticks , superfast racing - yacht keels , ultra - high bandwidth optical fibres , improved cochlear implants and a cancer - biopsy analyser that matches a human pathologist ' s tumour - spotting skills 2007年夏天，在伦敦巨型的基因与进化计算论坛中揭露了一些成果，其中就包括了终身使用的usb记忆棒、超快的竞赛游艇的龙骨、超高的带宽光学前为纤维、改进的耳蜗移植，以及一个与人类病理学家的肿瘤定位技能相吻合的癌症活组织检查分析仪。
Among those revealed at the genetic and evolutionary computation conference held in london this summer were long - life usb memory sticks , superfast racing - yacht keels , ultra - high - bandwidth optical fibres , high performance wi - fi antennae ( evolved to avoid patent fees ) , cochlear implants that can optimise themselves to individual patients and a cancer - biopsy analyser that was evolved to match a human pathologist ' s tumour - spotting skills 在今年夏天在伦敦举行的”基因和进化计算大会“上所透露的一些（应用）中就有长寿命usb记忆棒、超速赛艇艇身、超大容量带宽光纤， （为了逃避专利费而进化的）高性能无线网络天线、能适应单独病人而自动最优化的助听器，以及为匹配病理学家识别肿瘤技能而进化出的一种癌症活组织检查器。
