Which of the following sequences best represents the processing order of the cochlear implant?
A)Sound waves are converted into digital representations → digital representations are converted into electrical signals → electrical signals are transmitted as radio waves → radio waves are delivered to the cochlea.
B)Sound waves are converted into electrical signals → electrical signals are converted into digital representations → digital representations are transmitted as radio waves → radio waves are reconverted into electrical signals that travel to the cochlea.
C)Sound waves are converted into digital representations → digital representations are converted into radio waves → radio waves are converted into electrical signals → electrical signals travel to the cochlea.
D)Sound waves are converted into electrical signals → electrical signals are converted into radio waves → radio waves are converted into digital representations → digital representations are delivered to the cochlea.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of events in a cochlear implant involves sound waves being converted into electrical signals by the microphone, which are then converted into digital signals by a speech processor. These digital signals are transmitted as radio waves to a receiver implanted in the ear, which reconverts them into electrical signals that are delivered to the cochlea via an electrode array. Therefore, option B accurately represents the correct processing order for the cochlear implant.
