1List the structures sound waves would be conducted by from the external environment to the vestibulocochlear nerve. Describe how the various structures of the outer, middle, and inner ear function in hearing. 2What does the macula of utricle or saccule detect? What does the semicircular canal detect? Distinguish between static and dynamic equilibrium.
A cochlear implant can restore hearing in individuals with damages to the cochlea. There are four main parts to a cochlear implant: processor, electrode array, transmitter, and microphone. 1. a microphone picks up sound from the environment2. a speech processor selects and arranges sounds picked up by the microphone. 3. a transmitter and receiver/stimulator receive signals from the speech processor and convert them into electric impulses. 4. the impulses from the stimulator are collected by an electrode array and sent to the auditory nerve. Which human ear structure is most similar in function to the electrode array? Explain.
