Chronic Auditory-Nerve Implant Enhances Brainstem Phase Locking to Electric Pulse Trains
The results demonstrate the safety and efficacy of chronic IN stimulation in an animal model. In a future clinical device, an IN electrode could augment cochlear-implant performance by enhancing temporal acuity, thereby improving speech reception amid competing sounds.
