Course talk:PHYS341/2018/project/cochlear

Hello, Great job on your project! It’s well-written. The course material is incorporated nicely (e.g. sine waves, information about frequency, etc.).

Sabrina and I have a few suggestions for you. In general we think more diagrams/images would be to your benefit, such as in the overview maybe a map showing how the sound gets processed into signals detectable by individuals with hearing impairments. In the History section, you can be more clear about what exactly were the findings by Djourno and Eyries. Is it that Djourno and Eyries figured out how to stimulate the auditory nerve? By making a clarification as to what exactly their findings were, your subsequent statements about Doyle will make more sense. We were confused as to how research had been halted UNTIL the the development of the first cochlear implant (how can there be development if research has been halted?). Another interesting point you might want to mention is who the first individuals to receive the first successful cochlear implants (that is, if you can find research on this). To aid the flow of content, consider putting “Sound Quality Challenges” after “Perception of Music”?

Consider these suggestions. Overall, we think you did an excellent job providing details concisely, and incorporating relevant course materials. Keep up the good work!
