For patients who suffer from sensorineural hearing loss by damaged or loss of hair cells in
the cochlea, biomimetic artificial cochleas to remedy the disadvantages of existing implant …

Hearing is an extremely complex phenomenon, involving a large number of interrelated
variables that are difficult to measure in vivo. In order to investigate such process under …

In the cochlea, mechano-electrical transduction is preceded by dynamic range compression.
Outer hair cells (OHCs) and their voltage dependent length changes, known as …

Intracochlear pressure was measured in vivo in the base of the gerbil cochlea. The
measurements were made over a wide range of frequencies simultaneously in scalae …

With moderate acoustic stimuli, measurements of basilar-membrane vibration (especially,
those using a Mössbauer source attached to the membrane) demonstrate: a high degree of …

In this work we describe a two-dimensional computational model of the cochlea (inner ear).
The cochlea model is solved by modifying and extending Peskin's immersed boundary …

In this paper, we report a novel piezoelectric artificial cochlea which realizes both
acoustic/electric conversion and frequency selectivity without an external energy supply. The …

Traditionally, applications of biomechanics will model system-level aspects of the human
body. As a result, the majority of technological progress to date appears in system-level …

Most mathematical models of the mammalian cochlea neglect structural longitudinal
coupling. However, recent experimental data suggest that viscoelastic longitudinal coupling …

The spatial variations of the intricate cytoarchitecture, fluid scalae, and mechano-electric
transduction in the mammalian cochlea have long been postulated to provide the organ with …
