It's hard to create cochlear implants with more frequencies, known as channels, because each extra one needs to stimulate auditory nerves at a different point along the cochlea. (newscientist.com)
The research, «Computational modelling of the effects of auditory nerve dysmyelination,» is published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. (sciencedaily.com)
The cochlea has the all - important job of transforming mechanical energy in the form of sound waves into electrical signals that run along auditory nerves to the brain. (sciencedaily.com)
