Abstract
An artificial cochlea is a neuronal prosthesis designed to restore sensorineural hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea. The damage usually stems from the loss of hair cells in the organ of Corti, which is located on the basilar membrane (BM). Hair cells are specialized mechanoreceptors that transduce mechanical movement of the BM into an electrochemical signal to stimulate the auditory nerve. Basic passive hearing comes from the mechanical displacement of the BM by a traveling wave, cellular depolarization, and synaptic activity.
