Detailed explanation-1: -The frequency theory of hearing proposes that whatever the pitch of a sound wave, nerve impulses of a corresponding frequency will be sent to the auditory nerve. For example, a tone measuring 600 hertz will be transduced into 600 nerve impulses a second.
Detailed explanation-2: -The place theory of hearing suggests that we hear different pitches because different areas of the cochlea respond to higher and lower pitches.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Place Theory argues that different parts of the cochlea (inner ear) respond to different frequencies. The higher tone one hears, the more excited the oval window is on the cochlea. The lower the tone, the more firing of neurons is happening at the opposite end of the oval window.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cochlear implants are electronic devices that consist of a microphone, a speech processor, and an electrode array. The device receives incoming sound information and directly stimulates the auditory nerve to transmit information to the brain. A cochlear implant is very different from a hearing aid.
