The external ear or pinna (auricle) collects sound, which passes along the external auditory
canal to the eardrum (tympanic membrane)(Fig. 2.1). The middle ear (tympanum) is a cavity …

In vertebrates, all acoustic information transmitted from the inner ear to the central auditory
system is relayed by primary auditory afferents (auditory‐nerve fibers; ANFs). These neurons …

Since the 1970s, computational modeling has been used to investigate the fundamental
mechanisms of cochlear implant stimulation. Lumped parameter models and analytical …

Current steering and current focusing are stimulation techniques designed to increase the
number of distinct perceptual channels available to cochlear implant (CI) users by adjusting …

Most models of neural response to electrical stimulation, such as the Hodgkin-Huxley
equations, are deterministic, despite significant physiological evidence for the existence of …

Objectives: This study aimed to (1) investigate the responsiveness of the cochlear nerve
(CN) to a single biphasic-electrical pulse in implanted children with cochlear nerve …

Despite the fact that cochlear implants are widely and successfully used in clinical practice,
relatively little is known to date about the electric field patterns they set up in the cochlea …

Stochastic channel gating is the major source of intrinsic neuronal noise whose functional
consequences at the microcircuit-and network-levels have been only partly explored. A …

A computational model of cat auditory nerve fiber (ANF) responses to electrical stimulation is
presented. The model assumes that (1) there exist at least two sites of spike generation …

Cochlear Implants (CIs) are medical implantable devices that can restore the sense of
hearing in people with profound hearing loss. Clinical trials assessing speech intelligibility in …
