| This device transmits sound directly into the auditory nerve via electrodes surgically implanted into the cochlea. |
|
| The team has also found that 300 milliseconds before the bat hits the mantis, the insect's auditory nerve goes completely dead. |
|
| The sharp frequency selectivity of auditory nerve fiber responses to sound is a hallmark of vertebrate cochlear function. |
|
| It has been suggested that their purpose is to sharpen the tuning of the signal passed to the auditory nerve. |
|
| The implant is placed in the cochlea and connected to the auditory nerve with thin wires. |
|
| They, in turn, send the impulses to the hair cells and into the brain via the auditory nerve. |
|
| If the auditory nerve is no longer functioning, the benefits brought by a cochlear implant are not sufficient. |
|
| The coding strategy will transmit this information in the most efficient way possible to the auditory nerve. |
|
| If the auditory nerve is not intact following surgery for the removal of the tumour, a cochlear implant is of no use. |
|
| Cochlear implants use none of the ear's own mechanisms, transmitting sound directly to the auditory nerve. |
|
| The implant basically replaces the function of the cochlea, by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve. |
|
| By completely bypassing the damaged part of the cochlea, the cochlear implant uses its own electrical signals to stimulate the auditory nerve, allowing the person to hear. |
|
| Another bit of evidence came from patients who had their auditory nerve removed because it was cancerous. |
|
| The function of the cochlea is to convert the sound waves into electrical impulses transmitted to the brain by the auditory nerve. |
|
| Sound from a microphone placed near the ear is converted to weak electrical currents that activate auditory nerve endings inside the cochlea in the inner ear. |
|
| Lack of difference of wave I latency suggests that the auditory nerve itself was not affected. |
|
| It is filled with liquid and has small hairs, called ciliated cells, connected to the nerve fibres at the base of the auditory nerve. |
|
| When the hair cells are excited by vibration, electrical nerve impulses are generated in the auditory nerve. |
|
| Our ears, head and torso filter the sound before it gets to the auditory nerve, creating binaural dissimilarity that varies with frequency. |
|
| The microphone transmits sound to the implant, which converts it to electrical impulses that travel the thin wires and stimulate the auditory nerve. |
|
|
|
| Indeed, anatomical data show that olivocochlear efferents could travel along or inside the vestibular part of the auditory nerve before reaching the organ of Corti. |
|
| Hearing problems linked to the outer or middle ear can usually be treated, while problems in the inner ear or the auditory nerve going from the ear to the brain are usually permanent. |
|
| Sensorineural hearing loss is hearing loss due to a defect in the cochlea or the auditory nerve whereby nerve impulses from the cochlea to the brain are attenuated. |
|
| So, in addition to some irreversible hearing loss caused by an inner ear or auditory nerve disorder, there is also a dysfunction of the middle ear mechanism that makes the hearing worse than the sensorineural loss alone. |
|
| Sensorineural Hearing Loss: The most common type of hearing loss has many causes and refers to damage or destruction of mechanisms in the inner ear or auditory nerve. |
|
| The auditory nerve may be damaged as a result of German measles, mumps, meningitis or other internal ear infections causing neurosensorial hearing loss. |
|
| Retrocochlear perceptive deafness is when the auditory nerve is damaged. |
|
| He inserted a wire electrode near the auditory nerve. |
|
| Because of this damage, sound cannot reach the auditory nerve. |
|
| The examination of EABRs also allows information on the auditory system to be obtained by gathering electric signals passing between the auditory nerve and the brain when the implant is stimulated. |
|
| The inner ear processes the information correctly in the inner ear, but the auditory nerve is incapable of transmitting the nerve impulses to the brain. |
|
| The cochlea can no longer transform the sound information that it receives from the middle ear into nerve impulses, which are then transported along the auditory nerve to the brain. |
|
| When hearing is unimpaired, the cochlea's role is to convert the sounds transmitted by the eardrum and the ear bones into electric signals, which are sent to the brain along the auditory nerve. |
|
| A schematic drawing indicates how an electrode stimulates the auditory nerve and processes sound to link him with normal life. |
|
| Here, millions of tiny hair cells are stimulated to release glutamate at synapses with the auditory nerve, triggering impulses to fire along the auditory nerve to the brain. |
