Neural Coding of Interaural Time Differences with Bilateral Cochlear
... Distilled water (5–10 m) was injected into the cochlea through the round window to deafen the ear by causing hypotonic stress to the organ of Corti (Ebert et al., 2004). An eight-contact electrode array (Z60274 for three rabbits, HL8 for one rabbit; Cochlear) was inserted into the cochlea. Success ...

Generally, bass sounds must be louder than treble sounds in order for us to hear them. There are presumably two reasons for this: the middle ear has difficulties transmitt ...
