Summary of the cohorts used in this study
Cohort | Pt contact area* (mm2) | Charge per phase (μC/phase) | Centre electrode** charge density (μC/cm2/phase) | Flanker electrode charge density (μC/cm2/phase) | N (cochleae) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 0.05–0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
2 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 100 | 50 | 5 |
3 | 0.075 | 0.2 | 267 | 133 | 5 |
4 | 0.05 | 0.2 | 400 | 200 | 5 |
Notes:
Geometrical surface area.
Here and throughout this publication, unless otherwise stated, the charge density refers to that on the centre electrode of the tripole.
