Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cochlea translates different frequencies of sound into signals that the brain can understand. If an electrode malfunctions and stimulates the cochlea at varying intensities, it would affect the loudness of the perceived sound, leading to the wearer hearing a tone that varies in volume. Frequency perception is related to which part of the cochlea is stimulated, not the intensity of the stimulation.
