Reduction in spread of excitation from current focusing at multiple cochlear locations in cochlear implant users

M Padilla, DM Landsberger - Hearing research, 2016 - Elsevier
Channel interaction from a broad spread of excitation is likely to be a limiting factor in
performance by cochlear implant users. Although partial tripolar stimulation has been shown …
