I can't speak to the physics exactly, but I have re-polarized piezo crystals a few times before.
(Piezo servoes with a feedback section.)

Consider this, a piezo crystal with two faces, two wires.
You hit it with a hammer, which wire should be positive if a piezo crystal was entirely uniform?
It's like magnetizing something. Put it in a strong field, hopefully some of the "polarization" remains when you remove the field.
Heating above the Curie point kills both magnetism in materials and piezo polarization.
