In Reply to: We have to get away from mechanical transducers. When we are able to directly stimulate the auditory nerve, posted by cfb on July 1, 2012 at 06:17:13:
First, all natural sounds are heard via the transformations of the external, middle and inner ears and, so, bypassing them by direct auditory nerve stimulation would only require that we simulate their effects anyway.
Second, in order to stimulate the auditory nerve electrically, we would still need mechanical transducers to encode the sound into electrical signals.
