: The Italian physicist Count Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery, is considered the first scientist to have stimulated the ear with electricity, and the results of his experiments were presented in June 1800, at a meeting held by the Royal Society of London. Just recently, Mudry reported an electrical stimulation of the ear performed in 1748 by Benjamin Wilson (1721-1788), a British painter and scientist. After a thorough review of the literature available from the 18th century, we found that the first electrical stimulation of the ear was done in 1747, by a scientist in Bologna, Giuseppe Veratti.
意大利物理学家亚历山德罗·伏打伯爵（Count Alessandro Volta），电池的发明者，被认为是第一个用电刺激耳朵的科学家，他的实验结果于 1800 年 6 月在伦敦皇家学会的一次会议上公布。就在最近，Mudry 报告了 1748 年英国画家和科学家本杰明·威尔逊（Benjamin Wilson）进行的耳部电刺激。在对 18 世纪可用文献进行彻底审查后，我们发现第一次耳部电刺激是 1747 年由博洛尼亚的一位科学家朱塞佩·维阿蒂（Giuseppe Veratti）完成的。
