To enhance weak sounds while compressing the dynamic intensity range, auditory sensory
cells amplify sound-induced vibrations in a nonlinear, intensity-dependent manner. In the …

Studies in multiple species, including in post-mortem human tissue, have shown that normal
aging and/or acoustic overexposure can lead to a significant loss of afferent synapses …

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) differ between the sexes in humans, rhesus and marmoset
monkeys, and sheep. OAEs also are different in a number of special populations of humans …

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are useful for studying medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferents,
but several unresolved methodological issues cloud the interpretation of the data they …

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

Auditory filter shapes were derived from psychophysical measurements in eight normal-
hearing listeners using a variant of the notched-noise method for brief signals in forward and …

Mammalian spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) have been suggested to arise by
three different mechanisms. The local-oscillator model, dating back to the work of Thomas …

This study examines auditory brainstem responses (ABR) elicited by rising frequency chirps.
Two chirp stimuli were developed and designed such as to compensate for cochlear travel …

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 …

Frequency selectivity in the inner ear is fundamental to hearing and is traditionally thought to
be similar across mammals. Although direct measurements are not possible in humans …
