Abstract

The cochlear implant, a microelectrode array that directly stimulates the auditory nerve, has greatly benefited many individuals with profound deafness. Deaf patients without an intact auditory nerve may be helped by the next generation of auditory prostheses: surface or penetrating auditory brainstem implants that bypass the auditory nerve and directly stimulate auditory processing centers in the brainstem.

5. The cell somata of nerve fibers coming from the apical turn of the human cochlea are not located in the center of the apical coil but more toward the middle turn. If one assumes that CI electrodes stimulate fibers en passant they may stimulate low frequencies too even though the electrodes do not extend all the way into the apical turn.
