Abstract
Electrical stimulation of the cochlea results in both direct and electrophonic excitation of auditory nerve fibres. It has been proposed that electrophonic stimulation results from the creation of a mechanical disturbance on the basilar membrane which has properties similar those resulting from acoustic stimuli. Auditory nerve compound action potential (CAP) forward masking studies1 show the level of frequency specific electrophonic stimulation is highly correlated with the spectral energy of the electrical stimulus waveform. The level of spectral energy in pulsatile biphasic electrical stimuli decreases toward low frequencies suggesting the level of electrophonic stimulation will be diminished in the low frequency region of the cochlea.
