Abstract
Cochlear implant (CI) is an auditory prosthesis that delivers electrical stimulation via inserted electrodes into a cochlea. To evaluate CI performance, it is important to understand how auditory nerves are responded to electrical stimulations. In clinic, electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) is measured. In this study, we developed 3D finite element (FE) cochlear model to simulate ECAP in response to electrical stimulation. The model prododuced ECAP similar to that measured in animal experiments and clinics. This 3D FE cochlear model could be used in electrical stimulus method study to improve CI by analyzing neural responses to electrical stimulations.
