This study demonstrates that transtympanic infrared laser stimulation of cochlea can evoke an auditory-like percept. The results show that laser-evoked cochlear responses are closely linked to behavioral responses, and that these responses depend on stimulus intensity, are suppressed by auditory masking, and generalize from acoustic to laser stimulation. This suggests that laser stimulation engages auditory-related processing in the cochlea and can induce behaviorally meaningful perception. This dataset contains cochlear responses and behavioral responses elicited by both auditory and laser stimulation, including data on intensity dependence, masking effects, and stimulus generalization.
