We analyze published auditory-nerve and otoacoustic measurements in chinchilla to test a
network of hypothesized relationships between cochlear tuning, cochlear traveling-wave …

The intricate, crystalline cytoarchitecture of the mammalian organ of Corti presumably plays
an important role in cochlear amplification. As currently understood, the oblique, Y-shaped …

The cochlea of the mammalian inner ear includes an active, hydromechanical amplifier
thought to arise via the piezoelectric action of the outer hair cells (OHCs). A classic problem …

The mammalian ear embeds a cellular amplifier that boosts sound-induced
hydromechanical waves as they propagate along the cochlea. The operation of this amplifier …

While separating sounds into frequency components and subsequently converting them into
patterns of neural firing, the mammalian cochlea processes signal components in ways that …

Except at the handful of sites explored by the inverse method, the characteristics—indeed,
the very existence—of traveling-wave amplification in the mammalian cochlea remain …

Time-domain filtering is a standard analysis technique, which is used to disentangle the two
main vector components of the distortion product otoacoustic emission response, exploiting …

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) evoked from the inner ear are the barely audible, signature
byproduct of the delicate hydromechanical amplifier that evolved within its bony walls …

A model of cochlear mechanics is described in which force-producing outer hair cells (OHC)
are embedded in a passive cochlear partition. The OHC mechanoelectrical transduction …

Although stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs) offer compelling advantages
as noninvasive probes of cochlear function, they remain underutilized compared to other …
