You might know that a cochlear implant uses electrical pulses to send sound information to the brain. But, do you know how sound information is sent to the brain in normal hearing? How does the ear work? It’s also with electrical signals! Wait, then what’s the difference between the electrical signals from a cochlear implant

Discover the importance of fundamental frequencies in understanding speech and music. Learn how low frequencies, around 125–250 Hz, help distinguish speech stress patterns, nasality, age, gender, moods, and even musical notes like Middle C. These frequencies are crucial for comprehending the nuances in communication and enjoying music.
