Cochlear implants (CIs) restore activity in the deafened auditory system via electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. As the spread of electric current in biological tissues is rather broad, the spectral information provided by electrical CIs is limited. Optogenetic stimulation of the auditory nerve has been suggested for artificial sound coding with improved spectral selectivity, as light can be conveniently confined in space.
