- Figure 36.14 Cochlear implants can restore hearing in people who have a nonfunctional cochlea The implant consists of a microphone that picks up sound. A speech processor selects sounds in the range of human speech, and a transmitter converts these sounds to electrical impulses, which are then sent to the auditory nerve. Which of the following types of hearing loss would not be restored by a cochlear implant? Hearing loss resulting from absence or loss of hair cells in the organ of Corti. Hearing loss resulting from an abnormal auditory nerve. Hearing loss resulting from fracture of the cochlea. Hearing loss resulting from damage to bones of the middle ear.arrow_forwardA 61-year-old woman has had difficulty hearing since having a cerebral infarction 1 day ago.

Cones are more sensitive to color than rods are Cones require abundant light in order to be stimulated Rods are very sensitive, and can be stimulated even in very low light, so the signals all bleed together Cones have an almost 1:1 relationship with their axon pathways back to the cortex Cones are highly concentrated in the fovea, and rods are notarrow_forward
