Abstract :
The electrode is an important part of cochlear implant system because it affects the current spread and in term, the response of the auditory nerves. In this paper, an electrode-tissue interface model is coupled with a 3D cochlea and electrode model to simulate the condition of the electrodes in human cochlea. The effect of incorporating the electrode-tissue interface in the cochlea and the response of the auditory nerves is discussed
