Functional hearing can be restored to patients with sensorineural deafness by means of multichannel electrodes implanted into the cochlea. Electrical stimulation from an implanted receiver bypasses the missing hair cells and excites action potentials directly in the auditory nerve fibers, which are interpreted as sound by the brain. The success of this approach depends on identifying and producing temporospatial patterns of stimulation in each individual that best convey the sounds picked up by the microphone on the control unit.
