Within the cochlea, the basilar membrane (BM) is coupled to the reticular lamina (RL)
through three rows of piezo-like outer hair cells (OHCs) and supporting cells that endow …

With an ageing population, hearing disorders are predicted to rise considerably in the
following decades. Thus, developing a new class of artificial auditory system has been …

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 …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a common modality for measuring vibrations within
the organ of Corti complex (OCC) in vivo. OCT's uniaxial nature leads to limitations that …

Objectives: Due to the challenges of direct in vivo measurements in humans, previous
studies of cochlear tonotopy primarily utilized human cadavers and animal models. This …

Intra organ of Corti (OC) vibrations differ from those measured at the basilar membrane
(BM), with higher amplitudes and a wide-band nonlinearity extending well below a region's …

The mammalian cochlea amplifies sounds selectively to improve frequency resolution.
However, vibrations around the outer hair cells (OHCs) are amplified nonselectively. The …

The basilar membrane (BM) is connected to the reticular lamina (RL) through three rows of Y-
shaped structures consisting of an outer hair cell (OHC) and a Deiters' cell (DC) with a …

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

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common sensory deficit, disabling nearly half
a billion people worldwide. The cochlear implant (CI) has transformed the treatment of …
