ABSTRACT Three-dimensional (3D) computational modeling of the auditory periphery forms an integral part of modern-day research in cochlear implants (CIs). These models consist of a volume conduction description of implanted stimulation electrodes and the current distribution around these, coupled with auditory nerve fiber models. Cochlear neural activation patterns can then be predicted for a given input stimulus. The objective of this article is to present the context of 3D modeling within the field of CIs, the different models, and approaches to models that have been developed over the years, as well as the applications and potential applications of these models. The process of development of 3D models is discussed, and the article places specific emphasis on the complementary roles of generic models and user-specific models, as the latter is important for translation of these models into clinical application.

人工耳蜗的三维模型：对其发展的回顾以及它们如何支持人工耳蜗性能的管理和维护

摘要 听觉周边的三维 (3D) 计算建模是现代人工耳蜗 (CI) 研究的一个组成部分。这些模型包括植入刺激电极的体积传导描述和这些电极周围的电流分布，以及听觉神经纤维模型。然后可以针对给定的输入刺激预测耳蜗神经激活模式。本文的目的是介绍 CI 领域内 3D 建模的背景、不同模型和多年来开发的模型方法，以及这些模型的应用和潜在应用。讨论了 3D 模型的开发过程，文章特别强调了通用模型和用户特定模型的互补作用，
