The mechanical motions that deflect outer-hair-cell (OHC) stereocilia and the resulting
effects of OHC motility are reviewed, concentrating on high-frequency cochlear regions. It …

Many details of the operation of the mammalian cochlea are known, but how they all work
together to produce cochlear amplification is not understood. Outer-hair-cell (OHC) motility …

Objectives: Endolymphatic hydrops (EH), a hallmark of Meniere disease, is an inner-ear
disorder where the membranes bounding the scala media are distended outward due to an …

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

Click-evoked otoacoustic emissions (CEOAEs) are clinically used as an objective way to
infer whether cochlear functions are normal. However, because the sound pressure level of …

A fundamental property of mammalian hearing is the conversion of sound pressure into a
frequency-specific place of maximum vibration along the cochlear length, thereby creating a …

There are two kinds of cochlear amplification:“non-propagating amplification” that is
widespread but doesn't couple to the traveling wave, and “traveling-wave amplification” that …

Functional outcomes of medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) activation, such as improved
hearing in background noise and protection from noise damage, involve moderate to high …

Purpose Tone-pip-evoked otoacoustic emissions (PEOAEs) are transient-evoked
otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) that are hypothesized to originate from reflection of energy …

The human medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex was assessed by observing the effects of
contralateral acoustic stimulation (CAS) on the cochlear microphonic (CM) across a range of …
