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 …

Detection of low-level sounds by the mammalian cochlea requires electromechanical
feedback from outer hair cells (OHCs). This feedback arises due to the electromotile …

Reviewed are progress, exciting new developments, and areas that need work. Topics
considered are: Cochlear amplification is from energy injected into the traveling wave by …

Sound is detected and converted into electrical signals within the ear. The cochlea not only
acts as a passive detector of sound, however, but can also produce tones itself. These …

Simultaneous measurement of auditory brain stem response (ABR) and otoacoustic
emission (OAE) delays may provide insights into effects of level, frequency, and stimulus rise …

At low stimulus levels, basilar-membrane (BM) mechanical transfer functions in sensitive
cochleae manifest a quasiperiodic rippling pattern in both amplitude and phase. Analysis of …

Time-domain numerical solutions of a nonlinear active cochlear model forced by click stimuli
are analyzed with a time-frequency wavelet technique to identify the components of the …

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 …

To understand how the inner ear-generated sound, ie, otoacoustic emission, exits the
cochlea, we created a sound source electrically in the second turn and measured basilar …

There is a long-lasting question of how distortion products (DPs) arising from nonlinear
amplification processes in the cochlea are transmitted from their generation sites to the …
