    Abstract
    If patients with severe sensorineural deafness are going to perceive speech by electrical stimulation of the terminal auditory nerve fibres, it must be carried out on the basis of the place theory of pitch perception, as experimental studies have shown that electrical stimulation with single electrodes on the basis of the volley theory is not satisfactory (Clark, 1969; Kiang and Moxon, 1972; Simmons and Glattke, 1972). For this reason, it will be necessary to develop an array of electrodes that will enable a number of different auditory nerve fibres to be stimulated separately.
