A better understanding of the fundamental phenomena occurring in both the healthy and the artificially stimulated cochlea will greatly aid in the engineering of more effective cochlear implant devices and will, in general, enhance mankind's knowledge of inner ear function. This study was initiated to probe the feasibility of use of artificial piezoelectric transducer devices, both for the understanding of cochlear phenomena and as a possible cochlear implant. Aspects of feasibility of such an implant, the issues involved, the materials science challenges that need to be overcome to fabricate such a device, and results from initial in vivo experiments are discussed.
