influence the effectiveness of cochlear implants and the function of the auditory nerve. One area of investigation is the impact of stimulus parameters on the performance of cochlear implants.

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, ...

cochlear function increased, indicating that the brain was enhancing the cochlea's sensitivity as a response to long-term ...

cochlear function increased, indicating that the brain was enhancing the cochlea's sensitivity as a response to long-term hearing loss. A leading theory about the nerves that send signals from the ...

The illustration shows a cross-section of part of the cochlea, the fluid-filled part of the inner ear that converts vibrations from incoming sounds into nerve signals that travel to the brain via ...

The function of the outer hair cell in hearing is now perceived as that of a cochlear amplifier that refines the sensitivity and frequency selectivity of the mechanical vibrations of the cochlea.

Measuring cochlear function A leading theory about the nerves that send signals from the brain to the cochlea (known as “efferent” fibers) is that they control the cochlea’s response to ...
