“Research with non-human animal species provides evidence that deafness during the neonatal and extended periods beyond, results in loss of normal cochleotopic organization.”

“When a hearing aid does not give sufficient amplification, as with profound deafness, a cochlear implant may help.”

“No significant cochlear impairment was noticed in metabolically well-controlled diabetic patients in comparison to controls.”

“The sharp frequency selectivity of auditory nerve fiber responses to sound is a hallmark of vertebrate cochlear function.”
