What features of the cochlea make providing implants to improve hearing less challenging that attempting to restore mobility?
A)The spiral shape of the cochlea is designed to detect different sound frequencies at different positions along its length, which assists in sending the correct signals to auditory neurons.
B)The length of the cochlea allows multiple electrodes to be spaced efficiently.
C)The length of the cochlea reduces the need for extremely high density electrode arrays.
D)All are correct choices.
