In the classic view of cochlear mechanics, the cochlea is comprised of two identical fluid
chambers separated by the cochlear partition (CP). In this view the traveling wave pressures …

Abstract Models of the active cochlea build upon the underlying passive mechanics. Passive
cochlear mechanics is based on physical and geometrical properties of the cochlea and the …

Sound energy propagates in the cochlea through a forward-traveling or slow wave
supported by the cochlear partition and fluid inertia. Additionally, cochlear models support …

The human inner ear or cochlea is a bone structure of spiral shape and is composed of
mainly two conical chambers which are filled with fluid and separated by a soft membrane …

The aim of this study was to predict the characteristics of two types of cochlear pressure
waves, so-called fast and slow waves. A two-dimensional finite-element model of the organ …

The main task of the mammalian cochlea is to analyze sound in terms of its intensity, timing,
and frequency content. To achieve this, sound in air is “matched” acoustically to the denser …

In the mammalian cochlea, the geometrical and mechanical properties of the organ of Corti
complex (OCC, consisting of the tectorial membrane, the organ of Corti, and the basilar …

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions are sounds that are emitted by the cochlea due to
the nonlinearity of the outer hair cells. These emissions play an important role both in clinical …

The cochlea plays an important role in human hearing. Its basic function is to map sounds of
different frequencies onto corresponding characteristic positions on the basilar membrane …

The cochlea transduces sound-induced vibrations in the inner ear into electrical signals in
the auditory nerve via complex fluid–structure interactions. The mammalian cochlea is a …
