Somehow in tickling our eardrum that transmits energy down our hearing bones, which get converted to a fluid impulse inside the
cochlea
and then somehow converted into an electrical signal in our auditory nerves that somehow wind up in our brains as a perception of a song or a beautiful piece of music.
Turns out that if you have hearing loss, most people that lose their hearing lose it at what's called the cochlea, the inner ear.
And in the end, you achieve something like this where an electrode array is inserted inside the
cochlea.
So just the same way that we were able to jump over the damaged circuitry in the retina to get to the retina's output cells, we can jump over the damaged circuitry in the
cochlea
to get the auditory nerve, or jump over damaged areas in the cortex, in the motor cortex, to bridge the gap produced by a stroke.
But our inner ear, called the cochlea, is actually filled with saltwater-like fluids.
Those convert the large movements of the eardrum into pressure waves in the fluid of the
cochlea.
Its motion pushes the fluid within the long chambers of the
cochlea.
Once there, the sound vibrations have finally been converted into vibrations of a fluid, and they travel like a wave from one end of the
