Locations of damage. A, Representative image of a cochlea whole mount, with sites of damage across cases. Frequencies are based on the gerbil place-frequency map (Muller 1996). Gerbil numbers are indicated. The deepest damage for a flexible electrode was 4.1 from the end of the hook (arrow). The deepest damage for a rigid electrode was 3.2 mm. B, The diameter of the gerbil scala tympani as a function of cochlear distance and frequency (Thorne et al. 1999). The maximum insertion depth in (A) corresponds to the position of the arrow. RW, round window.
