| Sumario: | The ultimate goal of a cochlear implant device is to mimic the hearing through normal cochlea. A better understanding of normal cochlear function can help reaching this goal. The normal cochlea has a tonotopic mapping of the frequency representation in which each area on the cochlea is the most sensitive to a specific frequency. The array of the cochlear implant device has a number of electrodes each presenting a different frequency to the nearest area of the cochlea to where they are located. An anatomy-based programming strategy aims to present the frequency by the electrode contacts to which the cochlea is most sensitive to, according to the location of that electrode contact inside the cochlea. This chapter explores the details of the current understanding of the anatomy-based programming. |
