Round Window Cochlea. These two openings are the only visible parts of the cochlea. When pressure is normal or low the window snaps back into place.
To sum up current knowledge about the round window anatomy and to give advice to the cochlear implant. The round window is an important portal for the application of active hearing aids and cochlear implants. Directly adjacent to the semicircular canals prior to the beginning of the snail-shaped tube that forms the cochlea is the round window.
It vibrates with opposite phase to vibrations from the inner ear producing movement of perilymph in the cochlea.
The three commonly used routes for drugvirus delivery into the inner ear are 1 via the round window membrane at the base of the cochlear spiral. The round window is one of two openings in the middle ear localized at the level of the cochlea allowing communication between the mesotympanum of the middle ear and the inner ear. Transmission of sound waves in the cochlea The mechanical vibrations of the stapes footplate at the oval window creates pressure waves in the perilymph of the scala vestibuli of the cochlea. B The electrode array is observed to be anterior to the round window black arrowhead and is inserted at the site demarcated by the white arrowhead.
