Abstract

Abstract : Artificial basilar membrane (ABM) is an acoustic transducer that mimics cochlear tonotopy. In article number1700674, Hongsoo Choi and co‐workers demonstrate how mechanical‐to‐electrical transduction can be implemented by the piezoelectric or triboelectric effect for self‐powered devices. The ABMs are currently evolving into practical hearing sensors and will be the key technology that opens up the development of next generation cochlear implants in near future.
