The invention discloses a light-operated artificial cochlea device, which comprises a voice acquisition device, a voice processing device, a transmission device and a photic stimulation device capable of implanting cochleas, and is characterized in that the photic stimulation device comprises a micro LED (light-emitting diode) lamp containing blue and yellow light sources, and a flexible optical fiber output end connected with the micro LED lamp, the voice processing device is used for coding received electrical signals, the coded electrical signals are used for controlling the on and off of the lamp sources of the micro LED lamp, the frequency, the pulse width and the intensity of light and the alternating time between the blue light source and the yellow light source, the micro LED lamp applies the received electrical signals to driving the micro LED lamp and generating corresponding photic stimulation signals, and the photic stimulation signals are transmitted to spiral ganglion cells of photogenes expressing sensitivity to blue and yellow in advance through the flexible optical fiber output end and drive the spiral ganglion cells to generate excitement and inhibition intermittent auditory nerve impulse with certain frequency and a certain mode. The light-operated artificial cochlea device has the advantages of little trauma, simplified operation, high success ratio of an operation and high natural sound degree.
