The causes behind residual hearing loss following cochlear implantation are complex and varied. Studies such as this one provide clues as to what to focus on in order to improve the acoustic experience of cochlear implant recipients.
Hearing Involves Highly Distorted Processing of Sound by Sensory Hair Cells
Studying the distortions generated within the inner ear tells us how these signals may influence our perception of sound and also provides insight into the processes that are involved in basic sensory hair cell function.
