Figure 2. Stimulation of the inner ear.

Figure 2

Stimulation of the inner ear includes stimulation of two extra-cochlear sites, promontory or round window and intra-cochlear stimulation via typically a cochlear implant. Promontory and round-window stimulation accesses mostly basal neurons while cochlear implantation can provide more place-specific stimulation from base to apex.
